By Daniel Chan -
This is our playoffs, done in a form of 14 lottery balls shaking around in some machine.
Exciting, isn't it?
I thought having a thread as we await the results would be a fun place to talk about who might we draft and why the Wild suck so much that they had to win a few more games...
After having a horrendous post trade-deadline, the Wild finally decided to win a few games right before the season ended, effectively giving them more points and a higher standing. Who knew by winning, we were actually losing? But that goes into the whole "win vs. tank" debate which is a non-ending vicious cycle that I won't go into today.
Here is a quick explanation:
Hockeywilderness already did a few posts on the draft lottery, so it would be a bit redundant to repeat the exact things. So here are few useful links regarding the draft and the lottery.

So what are the Wild's chances of winning? 4.7%
The lottery is tonight at 7:00PM CDT/8:00PM EST. Not sure what channel it will be shown in the U.S but TSN.ca will be broadcasting the lottery.
To start of the discussion, I thought I would throw out a poll question:
