SECAUCUS, N.J. (May 7, 2024) -- The San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks own the first and second overall drafting positions, respectively, for the First Round of the 2024 Upper Deck NHL Draft as a result of the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery, conducted this evening at NHL Network's Secaucus, N.J., studio.
Participants in the Draft Lottery included all teams that did not qualify for the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs (or the teams that have acquired the first-round drafting positions of those non-playoff teams).
Two draws were conducted to determine the order of selection for the first 16 picks in the First Round of the Draft. Among the changes to the Draft Lottery format announced on March 23, 2021, there was a limit on the total number of selections (10) a team participating in the Draft Lottery could move up in the event it won one of the Lottery Draws. Thus, only the top 11 seeds were eligible to receive the first overall selection.
The order of selection for the first 16 picks of the First Round, only, of the 2024 Upper Deck NHL Draft is as follows:
1. San Jose Sharks
2. Chicago Blackhawks
3. Anaheim Ducks
4. Columbus Blue Jackets
5. Montreal Canadiens
6. Utah
7. Ottawa Senators
8. Seattle Kraken
9. Calgary Flames
10. New Jersey Devils
11. Buffalo Sabres
12. Philadelphia Flyers
13. Minnesota Wild
14. San Jose Sharks (from Pittsburgh)
15. Detroit Red Wings
16. St. Louis Blues
The remaining positions are determined by the results of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Sharks Win No. 1 Drafting Position
In the drawing that determined the No. 1 drafting position, the Sharks' combinations had the greatest percentage likelihood of being selected based on inverse order of regular-season finish (18.5%).
The Sharks have never selected first overall in franchise history. San Jose has picked second overall three times: 1991 (Pat Falloon), 1996 (Andrei Zyuzin) and 1997 (Patrick Marleau).
Blackhawks Win No. 2 Drafting Position
In the drawing that determined the No. 2 drafting position, the Blackhawks had the greatest percentage likelihood among the remaining clubs eligible for selection (16.6%).
The Blackhawks have selected second overall once before, in 1965 (Andy Culligan).
Winning Combinations for Sharks, Blackhawks
For each of the two drawings, 14 balls, numbered 1 to 14, were placed in a lottery machine. The machine randomly selected four balls. The resulting four-number series (without regard to selection order) was matched against a chart that shows all possible combinations and the clubs to which each was assigned. The chart showed that the Sharks had been assigned the numbers (2-7-10-11) that were expelled in the first drawing, followed by the Blackhawks (3-6-11-14) in the second drawing.

Tripping on Svech.
that second CAR goal...ouch.
Aren't we all happy that Yzerman loaded up on useless UFAs with terms to get us the legendary 15th pick?
I predicted they would miss the playoffs this season. The only reason they were close was due to the Patrick Kane acquisition.😟
Exactly!
i said this would happen last fall and i hate being right this time around.
they need to accept they might take a step back next season, get rid of some of those veteran contracts, and bring up kids no matter what.
there's just no excuse for trying this failed experiment again.
Disagree. Playoffs or people start losing jobs. Coaches 1st. Hockey Ops next. And finally next season after that the GM goes on the hot seat.
couldnt care any less if they fill the roster with vets. Last year they had zero rookie or sophomore player contracts that lasted for over 30 gamesthat is unheard of from a rebuilding organization.
However, next year they will be force to having at least 3 rookies (Edvinsson because of graduating to a higher level and 2 others out of waiver exemption that would be lost in the first or second slot. Burger is a rookie in all but technicality.). No coach wants to try to make the playoffs (and this coach has a playoff or lose your job mandate) with 4 or 5 rookies in the lineup.
Rookies make rookie mistakes and dont have the experience to be able to play 100% the way they should.
The Wings have to make the playoffs next season.
You cant take a step backwards as each year you #1C will lose one of those peak years left. You have depth players signed to term 3-4 years left that are in the same age bracket.
so get it out of your head that there will be this developmental year with 5 rookies (Edvinsson, Burger, Johansson, Mazur, Kasper) with Danielson a possibilityNo coach chasing the playoff would put them in the lineup out of trust issues alone.
Being forced into 3 roster spots with a possible 4th is different than getting these guys significant TOI and sheltering them.
100% in agreement
Fox went full-on Laimbeer , making the first poke than collapsing to the floor on the retaliation to draw the penalty.
Carolina is shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly but still right in this thing.
Like that.
Rangers power play is 3 for 4 this series.
OMFG Carolina keeps putting NYR on the PP.
OT starts in 17 minutes.
5-3 pp.
2OT in 17 minutes. Canes 51 shots, Rangers 36.
Here come the Avs.
Best game of the postseason.
After loads of great chances, funny how it can end on a garbage goal. That's the playoffs though.
3-2 Stars after 40.
I'll be back around 3am.
Human. The Avs have made Oettinger "oetter-ly" human.
And we go to OT in the DAL/COL game.
Fast. Fast. Game.
Could not sleep, so I am back just in time for OT.
Here is the tying goal by the Avs.
Blurb on Seguin: 0 goals on 25 SOGs in the playoffs.
$9.85 million for that production.
And it's the Avs in the OT. 4-3 COL.
4 unanswered goals.
Whoever's the skills coach on that Avs team needs a fuching raise.
