Today we’re updating ourselves with the Alexis Lafreniere sweepstakes, covering the seven out of eight revealed teams that will have a 1/8 chance at selecting Lafreniere at the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The winning team will be revealed at the second 2020 NHL Draft Lottery, which will be taking place on Monday.

So far, the teams that have a chance at winning the 1st overall pick are the New York Rangers (defeated by the Carolina Hurricanes), the Nashville Predators (defeated by the Arizona Coyotes), the Florida Panthers (defeated by the New York Islanders), the Winnipeg Jets (defeated by the Calgary Flames), the Minnesota Wild (defeated by the Vancouver Canucks), the Edmonton Oilers (defeated by the Chicago Blackhawks), and the Pittsburgh Penguins (defeated by the Montreal Canadiens),

There is one more series that will determine the eighth and final team to join the Lafreniere lottery, between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Columbus Blue Jackets. The loser of that series will enter the sweepstakes as well.

  1. According to my math skills… there is a 25% chance that Lafrenière will go to either Edmonton or Pittsburgh.

  2. Give Lafreniere to the Pens. It would be hilarious and Sidney deserves an elite winger at his age as he's willing to be underpaid at 8.7 million unlike the spoiled Leafs players like Marner

  3. It is extremely annoying how you stretch out EVERY single video. We already know how the draft works we are aware who laf is you don't need to be captain obvious just get to the point and stop stretching everything out. It took you literally 3:40 of rambling to get to the actual video nice

  4. Guess I’m rooting for Columbus or Florida. In particular, Florida really needs someone to excite their fan base so they can sell some damn tickets… whenever that’s possible again.

  5. @legorocks preds , jackets and panthers(plus canes if they were in it) suck. They are on my suck list. I’d rather have oilers or even Toronto (gross) than those lame franchises. Wild could use him too. They are stuck with aging players and could use a shot of youth. My preference would be a Canadian team in the west or any west team so laf isn’t in Montreal’s confrence. Until he signs as ufa in Montreal 👍👍🤞

  6. I’d love to see my Rangers get the pick, obviously. But if it weren’t them, I’d like to see it be Florida because I think if they can’t get fan interest with Lafrenière, then the NHL can’t feel bad moving them

  7. Cant beleive the Habs won…Adios Lafreniere , keep paying shit load of cash to go see a team that has no chance to win the cup

  8. The habs don’t get Lafreniere boo-hoo what a tragedy but wtv I’m over it….
    I’m just gonna leave you with just one name that could be behind the jersey of the bleu-blanc-rouge….. ROSSI

  9. So far the good teams (who do not need Lafreniere) that fans thought would lose in the first round has mostly come true.

    Toronto almost joined the list but CBJ melted like summer ice.

    Really the surprise was Montreal kicking it into gear moving on, once the rumors started that Alexis did not want to play there.

  10. I heard for this lottery, every team will get 1 ball, unlike the usual lottery where it's based on combos of numbers.

    I don't believe that the league rigs these lotteries, but they are doing it in a way that is the easiest to rig

  11. People just don’t want him with Pittsburgh because we got Crosby and they don’t ther still not over it people only hate Crosby because he’s a penguin this hatred agenced Pittsburgh needs to stop

  12. Wasn’t Bob’s fault. He was the only reason they stayed in the game for so long. It was the Panthers defense that killed them, and also their offense wasn’t producing 5 on 5.

  13. Hope he goes to a US team. Panthers or Wild especially. I’m fine with Preds or Rangers. Penguins I’d just laugh.

  14. Better not b Edmonton again if they do they it's all setup to try and keep mcdavid there

  15. Oilers better win lafranai because we got destroyed by Chicago and I want Edmonton to flex that on Chicago and beat Chicago 8-3 next time we play them
