The fate of one team will dramatically change Saturday night when the 2016 NHL Draft Lottery takes place in Toronto.
The prize of this year’s draft class is American-born center Auston Matthews, an ultra-talented center who grew up in Arizona and excelled against men in the Swiss League during the 2015-16 campaign.
The team with the best chance to win the No. 1 pick is the Toronto Maple Leafs at 20 percent, followed by the Edmonton Oilers (13.5 percent) and Vancouver Canucks (11.5 percent).
Here are the full odds.
As for the Boston Bruins, here are their complete lottery odds.
The Oilers have won four of the last six draft lotteries, yet they haven’t made the Stanley Cup playoffs since 2006. The Leafs haven’t held the top pick since 1985, when they selected Wendel Clark.
