For the first time since 2018, the Buffalo Sabres came out on top and won the NHL draft lottery, securing their second first overall pick in the last four drafts. This will be the 10th straight year Buffalo has made a lottery selection. Other notable spots are the Seattle Kraken making their first-ever pick at second overall, a pick that was expected to go to the Ducks, who will now pick third. Every other pick went where it was expected. A little boring if you ask me.
