Pretty excited with the level of talent in this year's draft. I had fun with this little program so thought I'd share.

3My first spin I got the Bruins. Second spin... Bruins. 
Hopefully that's not the case. Outside of LA the last team that I'd want to see grab McJesus is Boston.

4The Sabres fans deserve this but if they don't win the lottery, this was exactly my next choice!

Re: 2015 NHL Draft Lottery
10I ran it 10 times just to smooth out the averages a little: The winners were:
Coyotes - 2
Blue Jackets - 2
Maple Leafs - 2
Sabres - 1
Bruins -1
Flyers - 1
Avs - 1
Wouldn't the Sabre fans have a heart attack if, after all that pain this year and rooting against their team, they had to settle for presumably their second choice (but what a consolation prize!). I would happy to see Columbus win the first pick, but upset if the Avs did!

11I had a few minutes to kill while waiting for something else to complete, so, out of curiosity I ran it 100 times just even even out the odds. Here were the results
Team / Lottery Odds / Percentage Won on Program
Sabres / 20.0 / 14
Coyotes / 13.5 / 12
Oilers / 11.5 / 13
Maple Leafs / 9.5 / 8
Hurricanes / 8.5 / 3
Devils / 7.5 / 6
Flyers / 6.5 / 9
Blue Jackets / 6.0 / 12
Sharks / 5.0 / 7
Avs / 3.5 / 4
Panthers / 3.0 / 2
Stars / 2.5 / 5
Kings / 2.0 / 3
Bruins / 1.0 / 2
And now we know (not that it means that much . . .).
The Blue Jackets continue to beat the odds. I would be happy for JD if that actually happened. He is building a very good team and that would be quite the addition! The Sabres continue to fare below average, and that would serve their "fans cheering for Sabre losses" what they deserve.
