With the NHL draft tomorrow night, the DHL will continue our tradition of following the NHL draft rules; a few changes this year.
With 16 NHL teams represented in the NHL draft each DHL team will be represented by 2 teams; the draft lotto will look as follows;
16th - BUF/VAN 15th - ANH/OTT 14th - SEA/ARZ 13th - NJD/CHI 12th - CLB/CGY 11th - DET/PHI 10th - SJ/DAL 9th - LA/NYR
I’ll verify which team is in which position prior to the draft; any questions post here! Sorry for the short notice!

What about the following from the NHL: The Arizona Coyotes will be part of the drawings but forfeited their first-round pick because of violations of the NHL Combine Testing Policy during the 2019-20 season. The Coyotes also had to forfeit their second-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft. If Arizona wins either lottery drawing, a redraw will be conducted.

The Coyotes also had to forfeit their second-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft. If Arizona wins either lottery drawing, a redraw will be conducted. If Arizona wins the lottery we still count it as a win, in the DHL the pick wont be forfeited. so for example; If Arizona wins the draft lottery; the Ranger here would receive the 1st overall pick. In the NHL it is my understanding that should Arizona win they simply have to forfeit that pick. Which would be brutal if they ended up with the 1st overall pick and then had to give it up...but in our case the Rangers would simply keep the #1 pick. Only two teams can move up this season instead of 3, so whichever two teams win the lottery will win pick 1 and 2 even if one is the Arizona pick.

Congrats to the LA Kings for winning the draft Lottery, the Rangers move up to the #2 spot while Philly falls to #3. The rest all follows status quo!
It is my understanding that Arizona did not win the draft lottery hence having a redraw, but should it be determined they did and the redraw was completed without announcing Arizona won, LA and the Rangers would switch spots.
Good luck to all in the upcoming draft.
