It seems that there may be a little uncertainty about how they decide who gets the first pick overall. Here is a snippet directly from the current NHL/NHLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement that should help clear it up. I also see that it is listed in the article link at the top of this page:
---------------------------------------------
Entry Draft Selection
The order of the selection of the first round of the 2006 Entry Draft and Entry Drafts in the years following, shall be determined as follows:
(a) Clubs that do not make the Playoffs participate in a weighted drawing.
(b) The non Playoff Clubs shall be ranked in the inverse order of the Regular Season point totals, with team #1 being the Club with the worst record, team #14 being the club with the best record:
Team --------------- Odds
1 ------------------- 25.0%
2 ------------------- 18.8%
3 ------------------- 14.2%
4 ------------------- 10.7%
5 ------------------- 8.1%
6 ------------------- 6.2%
7 ------------------- 4.7%
8 ------------------- 3.6%
9 ------------------- 2.7%
10 ------------------ 2.1%
11 ------------------ 1.5%
12 ------------------ 1.1%
13 ------------------ 0.8%
14 ------------------ 0.5% |

Pretty cool to be the stick boy, eh?
But Angelo or Jacub Voracek will go ahead of him.
I've figured it out, the guys gotta play like girls! |

Esposito will not be the #1 pick, I hope not...

I know after i found out the Avs lost i was cheering for the Oilers to lose for that possibility. |

Theoretically. They would have finished in Chicago's spot. |

Good, Chicago needs the advantage of being able to pick the best players sooner. Then hopefully their season will be a bit better than this year's. |

Thats good for them, they deserve it. I wonder who they're first pick will be??
When life gives you lemons throw them at the Ottawa Senators and their fans and hope it gets them in the eyes ;) |
