Fans of every non-playoff NHL team have undoubtedly spent hours fiddling around with NHL draft lottery simulators. With the lottery coming up on April 30, it’s a great way to remind yourself your team can win something! Believe in yourself!
The Canucks GM loves playing online NHL draft lottery simulators just like the rest of us
They’re so addicting.


It turns out that Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning is just like the rest of us.
Benning: A couple nghts ago, I spun the wheel for two hours and I don't think we picked in the top three once, so I was kinda put off... (1)

Benning (2): so the next day, I woke up and did it ten times, and we picked #1 three times out of ten, so that gave me more hope

Jim, that means you went from missing the top three 100 percent of the time to missing it 70 percent of the time. The Canucks also have an 11.5 percent chance of picking first overall. But hey, hope is a good thing.
