FNHL Draft Lottery to be introduced in 2019

[izaman3]

Lottery should be for the teams truly in need of . Perhaps limit to the 10 lowest ranked teams. The 5 that just missed out on the playoffs should get the middle picks imo.

I'm on side with this. Top 10 is my vote.

I'm good with the top 10 picks being determined thru lottery. Use the NHL's weighting redistribute weighting from slots 11-15 to slots 1-10, BAM! Bob's your uncle.

I agree with Jack.

Good call. I'll go with the majority for setup.

This is an obvious change we need to make to our FNHL draft.
So obvious we can skip the vote.

The only question really is how and again the obvious answer is use the NHL's lottery system.
I have to check it out but we might be able to use this site

Guidelines:
* Each FNHL team is assigned a series of numbered combinations.
* The lower a team finished in the regular season standings, the more combinations are assigned to them (we need to figure this out).
* Four balls are then selected at random to form a four-number combination, which is then compared to a master list of every teams’ combinations and matched with the winner (we need to figure this out).
* This process is then repeated to determine the winner of the second and third overall picks.
* Once all three draws are done, the remaining teams fall into place based on each team’s final position in the regular season standings.

Gents, we're going to use the lottery to determine Pick #1-10 starting in the 2019 FNHL Entry Draft.

We'll use this site to determine the order of the picks http://www.draftpicklottery.com/lottery.php

Each of the Top 10 picks will be drawn by weighted lottery.
We will use the NHL's odds from the previous year's lottery.
For 2019, here are the odds
Lottery odds (Fewest Points to Most)

Team 31 - 18.5%
Team 30 - 13.5%
Team 29 - 11.5%
Team 28 - 9.5%
Team 27 - 8.5%
Team 26 - 7.5%
Team 25 - 6.5%
Team 24 - 6.0%
Team 23 - 5.0%
Team 22 - 3.5%

In this FNHL lottery system, last place team can end up with the 10th overall pick and vice versa. There are no limited to climbing or falling in this lottery system.

I think having the first ten draft picks determined through lottery will be a healthy way for non playoff teams to potentially benefit from the opportunity to draft a prospect that can contribute sooner than later.

It does become more a deterrent to strive for number 1 overall and hopefully teams stay competitive right until the last game of the regular season.
