The NHL took a major decision that concerns directly the Flyers

As you probably know, the Flyers won't make the playoffs this season. However, there are some big deadlines ahead of them, beginning by the draft lottery.

According to Chris Johnston, NHL teams have been informed that the draft lottery will be held on May 10th, and will be conducted remotely with GM's patched in from their home cities.


For the moment, the Flyers would have a 11.5% chance to win the lottery if they finish at the place (30th in point percentage) they are. With some huge luck, they could improve those odds if they succeed to finish 31st in the league behind the Montreal Canadiens - which is the team who is occupying this rank for the moment.


Talking about Montreal, the draft will be held there on July 7 and 8.

Also, the Flyers are in Montreal as both teams will face off at the Bell Centre tomorrow night. To improve their chances to draft Shane Wright, they must lose the game.
