So, are they going to have the 4 balls pop out of the shoot live on air or are they going to still do the stupid "flip the cards" immediately after the balls were drawn?

Guess it could be kind of cool if they showed all the 1001 permutations on a video board like the Sabres now have but with team logos instead of the actual # combos and as balls get drawn, all the losing combinations go dark until there's only 1 logo left lit up.

That would be a great way to do it.

No chance they do anything remotely close 😂

Or a kids' game show approach: when your team's odds are reduced to 0.0, the trapdoor under your GM's feet is unlocked and they fall into a swimming pool under the floor (and are promptly rescued), OR they just get slimed. Nickelodeon could simulcast it.

I don’t follow the lottery. What are the Odds we get a top 2 pick?

6.5% chance for 1st, 6.7 for 2nd, 0.2 for 3rd, 44.4 for 7th, 36.5 for 8th, and 5.6 for 9th. San Jose has the best chance for 1st at 25.5%.

I wish the league showed it live like this when we lost McDavid. I still think it was rigged to punish the Sabres for tanking.

Yea like the NHL needs to punish the Sabres... the Sabres do a fine job punishing themselves.  If anything they probably knew the Sabres would waste McDavids career.

I was rigged.  

With the 9th pick in the draft, the Buffalo Sabres select......

Boston wins it this year.  Pitt wins it next year.  
And the major markets are back on track.
