from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
The Red Wings didn’t win much during this past regular season and added one more loss Friday.
The team failed to win Friday’s NHL Draft Lottery, and will wind up pickingfourth whenever the actual NHL Entry Draft will be held (probably in October).
But let the conspiracy theories begin, as a team who will be playing in the qualifying round in July/August will be picking first overall.
Despite a 2.5% of being drawn, the placeholder team from the qualifying round won the lottery, beating the odds for sure.
