NHL reveals the new odds of getting the first pick this season

On May 10th, the lottery for the first overall pick will take place in the next draft, which will take place in July at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

The NHL has unveiled the new odds for a team to get the first overall pick.

Here are the odds:

32nd : 18,5%
31st : 13,5%
30th : 11,5%
29th : 9,5%
28th : 8,5%
27th : 7,5%
26th : 6,5%
25th : 6,0%
24th : 5,0%
23th : 3,5%
22th : 3,0%

Currently, the Habs have a 13.5% chance of drafting the first overall pick. However, the race for the last pick is very tight, with the Arizona Coyotes.

A new rule stipulates that only the last 11 teams will be in the race for the first pick this season.
