Not the highest priority for the moment, but it will be necessary to review the draft lottery rule in this league.

From what I have read, the lottery system will change under the new CBA. As such, I'm not sure that using the NHL lottery results as a reference will still make sense in this league.
I am not saying we need to change the rules, just that this needs to be reviewed once we know the details of the new lottery system. But if the team that finishes last can potentially end up with the 4th pick at the draft in the NHL (just an example, I do not know if that will be the case), then I am not sure this would be fair in a fantasy league with only 10 teams.

True. Considering I have 5 of the 1st rounders for this coming draft I wouldn't want to somehow end up with no top 3 picks

The only difference to the lottery system is that the winner of the draft lottery can move up all the way to first overall, instead of the maximum four spots.
Like before, if you finish last, the worse you will do is pick 2nd overall. However, the odds of the last place team having the first overall pick are significantly reduced. Before, the last place team would retain the first overall pick if any team finishing 6th last to 14th last won the draft lottery. That is no longer the case. Now the last place team only receives the first overall pick if that team wins the lottery.
The impact on our league, with our current rules, is significant. We only have 10 teams, so if we don't change our rules, the team that wins our league could possibly win the draft lottery and receive the first overall pick.
I'd suggest that we keep the rule that the team winning the lottery can only move up a maximum of four spots to prevent any of the top 6 teams in our league from receiving the first overall pick.

We'll go over this later in the season. It will need to be changed.

I think we can keep the rule as is after all. The rule provides: 4. There will be a draft lottery to protect the integrity of the league. The bottom 5 teams will participate in the draft lottery. The exact results from the actual N.H.L. lottery shall apply to our lottery. In other words, if any of the bottom five NHL teams wins the lottery, then the team holding the same position in this league will win the lottery as well. If any other team wins the lottery in the NHL, then the draft will proceed without any team moving up in the draft order. Does that make sense?

Yeah, I think that works.

yes, I think that works.
the important thing is that we don't do what the NHL will be doing, which potentially leads to ANY team missing the playoffs ending up with the first overall pick.
we don't want any of the top 5 teams in our league having the first overall pick

I agree with these last 3 statements....Personally I didn't blow up my entire team to not have a shot at the top prospects.
