Seravalli suggests marking calendars for May 6th or 7th, as he expects the NHL to conduct its annual draft lottery around these dates, he shared on X.
For teams that had a tough season, the draft lottery offers a glimmer of hope, with Celebrini being the ultimate prize. With exceptional skills, he's the clear choice for the number one spot.
The race for Celebrini is heating up, with the San Jose Sharks currently in the lead with a 25.5% chance of landing the first pick. Following closely are the Chicago Blackhawks with 13.5%, the Anaheim Ducks at 11.5%, the Columbus Blue Jackets at 9.5%, and the Montreal Canadiens rounding out the top five with an 8.5% chance.
The Ottawa Senators, Seattle Kraken, Pittsburgh Penguins (whose pick could go to the Sharks if it falls out of the top 10), Buffalo Sabres, and Calgary Flames are all in the mix for the top spot as well.
