The NHL has released the odds for the 2018 Draft Lottery, which will be held on April 28 in Toronto.
The lottery will consist of three draws: one for the first-overall pick, one for the second-overall pick and one for the third. The 15 teams that fail to qualify for the playoffs, or teams that hold first-round picks of non-playoff teams, will take part in the lottery.
Those teams not selected in the lottery will be assigned picks No. 4 through No. 15 in inverse order of regular-season points.
The 2018 NHL Draft will take place on June 22-23 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
