Description

My team is the Hawks, but this could be any of the teams 16-24. ONE of them will surprise. upsets happen all the time in hockey. it's part of what makes this sports so great. BUT it doesn't feel right to me to still be allowed into the lottery. Imagine ANY of the teams 16-24 actually making it into a conference finals game. What happens to their pick? What happens if they won the lottery?!?!

Any team that moves past the play in isn't in the lottery.

Oh, I hadn't seen that! Thanks I thought the lottery was before the playoffs?

You get into the playoffs, You lose your lottery bid. It's one or the other not both.

It's still a weird system. Like the Leafs or the Penguins or a number of good teams could win a lottery. Doesn't seem right to me but then again, it doesn't seem right to make those teams play their way into the playoffs when they were sitting in a spot.
