If the rest of the season (qualifying round and playoffs) is cancelled, the bottom 8 teams who were to play in the qualifying round to fight to get into the playoffs would then each have an equal 12.5% chance of being awarded the 1st overall pick. These teams include - MONTREAL , CHICAGO , ARIZONA , MINNESOTA , WINNIPEG , NEW YORK (RANGERS) , FLORIDA , and COLUMBUS. In this mock I have the Coyotes winning it. But picks 9-15 would go in order of the Canadiens - Blue Jackets. Picks 16-31 would also be placed in order of point percentage when the league stopped in March.
If that happens the Canucks better get Madden and their 2nd back
I wish that were the case but I was looking closer at the standings yesterday and realized that since we are out of the top 15 (17) the pick would go to NJ. If Vancouver hadn’t won that last game against the Islanders we could’ve got our pick back lol.
