ESPN: Source: NHL mulls draft process

 

But the NHL is looking at expanding the process to give more teams better chances at top picks via a weighted lottery. Exactly how the process would work is unknown, and it's unclear what factors would go into determining the mathematical chances the 17th team would have at a pick in the top three or five or seven in the draft versus the 30th team.
