Lafreniere, a star winger with the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s Rimouski Oceanic, is the presumptive No. 1 pick

The New York Rangers had plenty of reason to celebrate after winning the NHL draft lottery on Aug. 10, 2020.The club had a 12.5-per-cent shot of securing the top pick in the second phase Monday after a placeholder secured the No. 1 slot back in June.

“Really good news,” Lafrenière said on the television broadcast following the lottery. “The Rangers are an unreal team with really good players [and] a really nice city.” The Los Angeles Kings will choose second, while the Ottawa Senators own the third and fifth selections. The Detroit Red Wings, who had the best singular odds at winning the lottery the first time around, possess the fourth pick.

Second phase of NHL draft lottery set for MondayEach club eliminated during the NHL's play-in round will have a 12.5 per cent chance of picking first in the next NHL draft. This is a crock of crap.
