Maybe I’m dumb, but I don’t understand the circumstances under which we get the 3rd or 4th overall pick.
My understand was we either win the first lottery and jump up to 2nd overall because we can only move up 10 slots, at which point the second drawing would be for the 3rd overall pick, or we win the second drawing and jump up to 2nd overall anyway. Cleary I’m missing something.

For #2: Flyers win 1st lottery (slotting in SJ at #1 and Flyers at #2) -OR- SJ wins 1st lottery and Flyers win 2nd lottery.
For #3: Flyers win 1st lottery (slotting in SJ at #1 and Flyers at #2), but then a team in front of the Flyers (any team 2-11) wins 2nd lottery, pushing Flyers down to 3rd. *(edit: this doesn’t seem correct)*
For #4: Minnesota (#13) wins the 1st lottery (Slotting in SJ at #1, Chi at #2 and Min at #3) then Flyers win 2nd lottery, slot into 4th.
For #12: no lottery win for Flyers or Min/Pit/Det/Stl
For #13: no lottery win for Flyers and one of Min/Pit/Det/Stl wins 1st or 2nd lottery
For #14: no lottery win for Flyers and two of Min/Pit/Det/Stl wins 1st and 2nd lottery
