This year has been rather brutal for the Chicago Blackhawks. They have managed a measly 23 wins through 80 games and are a lock for finishing second-last in the NHL, only a few points ahead of the abysmal San Jose Sharks.
That means that they are confirmed to have the 2nd best odds of winning the 2024 draft lottery and picking Macklin Celebrini at the draft. The Blackhawks will have a 13.5% chance of picking first, a 14.1% chance at picking second, a 30.7% chance at picking third, and a 41.7% chance of picking fourth, the lowest they will possibly pick.
As it stands, there is a 60% chance that one of these four teams will land the 1st overall pick with the remaining odds being split between the seven other teams who finish from 5th worst to 11th worst.
