Cold as Ice will be implementing a draft lottery, starting for the 2019 Entry Draft and continuing thereafter. Slight modifications may be made to the process as percentages change (hello, Seattle) and in the event that the NHL changes their procedures.
Each non-playoff team will be tied to real life NHL teams and their lottery percentages. Then, the results of the real life lottery will be applied to our league. The six non-playoff teams will receive the odds as follows, with 1 being the last place team in Cold as Ice and 6 being the 6th last, or 9th place team.
1. 1st (18.5%) + 7th (6.5%) = 25.0 %
2. 2nd (13.5%) + 8th (6.0%) + 13th (2.0%) = 21.5%
3. 3rd (11.5%) + 9th (5.0%) + 15th (1.0%) = 17.5%
4. 4th (9.5%) + 10th (3.5%) + 14th (1.5%) = 14.5%
5. 5th (8.5%) + 11th (3.0%) = 11.5%
6. 6th (7.5%) + 12th (2.5%) = 10.0%
If we take this process and apply it to the 2018 draft for illustrative purposes, here is how it would play out:
1. 1st (18.5%) Buffalo + 7th (6.5%) Chicago = 25.0 %
2. 2nd (13.5%) Ottawa + 8th (6.0%) NYR + 13th (2.0%) Dallas = 21.5%
3. 3rd (11.5%) Arizona + 9th (5.0%) Edmonton + 15th (1.0%) Florida = 17.5%
4. 4th (9.5%) Montreal + 10th (3.5%) NYI + 14th (1.5%) St. Louis = 14.5%
5. 5th (8.5%) Detroit + 11th (3.0%) Carolina = 11.5%
6. 6th (7.5%) Vancouver + 12th (2.5%) Calgary = 10.0%
The NHL saw Buffalo (1st) win the first pick, Carolina (11th) win the second pick, and Detroit (5th) win the third pick. Therefore, Team 1 would get the first pick and Team 5 would get the second pick. Then, since Team 5 also had the odds for Detroit, the order for this would go by reverse standings, and Team 2 would get the third pick.
Any time the same fantasy team gets the first two picks, then the second pick would go to reverse standings, and the NHL lottery results would determine who gets pick 3, or if ineligible, the pick would go to reverse standings.
Examples.
Using the odds above, imagine the NHL lottery order went Montreal, NYI, and then Buffalo. Team 4 would get first pick (lottery), Team 1 would get second pick (reverse standings), and Team 2 would get third pick (reverse standings).
