Well it's official, the Leafs are now locked in to position for the NHL Draft Lottery. In fact at this point in the season it's very good news for the Leafs and more specifically for their fan base. The Carolina Hurricanes managed to secure a win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night, meaning that no matter what happens in the final few games of the NHL season the Leafs will finish 27th. That means they actually have a pretty decent shot at acquiring the 1st overall pick in the NHL draft, a pick that would become Connor McDavid of the Eerie Otters. While the actual number may seem small(9.5%) that's actually about half the odds the Buffalo Sabres(20%) have of drafting McDavid. The other two teams drafting ahead of the Leafs are Arizona(13.5%) and Edmonton(11.5%).
