Phase 1 of the 2020 NHL Draft Lottery will be held on Friday. The bottom 15 teams that do not get into the Stanley Cup Playoffs will be selected. The Florida Panthers are uncertain when they will draft in the first round until their qualifying round series against the New York Islanders has been completed in August.
There is an unusual procedure unlike previous NHL drafts. The seven clubs that were not placed in any upcoming qualifying series will get a specific spot in Phase 1. If the top three lottery draws for the top three overall selections fall among these teams, Phase 2 would not be necessary. The eventual losing teams in the qualifying round are to be slated into spots in Phase 1 of the lottery labeled Team A to Team H based on inverse point percentage at the end of the regular season.
Phase 2 would occur if any of the knocked off qualifying clubs from Team A to Team H are picked in the three lottery draws. All these eight clubs would get the same odds for the slot. This part of the NHL Draft Lottery would be held between the end of the qualifying rounds and the conference quarterfinals.
