Some draft lottery stats:

Because the NJD hold the second tiebreaker (ROW), #Canucks can drop as low as the 4th best draft lottery odds if they lose out.

Doesn’t really matter. 2021 draft an unprecedented crapshoot anyway. I don’t think the usual gap in value between 1st and 7th OA applies to this class.
