Red Wings have 6.7 percent chance of landing 1st overall NHL draft pick in lottery

The Detroit Red Wings missed the playoffs but they didn't lose enough games to get one of the top NHL draft lottery positions. 

While tanking for a better draft pick is not everyone's desire, the fact is sometimes losing pays -- just ask the Edmonton Oilers who grabbed Connor McDavid 1st overall in 2015. Of course, there is no McDavid in this year's draft.
