The NHL draft lottery will take place for fans at 8:00 EST, but for general managers, they already know how it has gone.
GM's Already Know Their Draft Slot
Teams' futures will change today. Connor Bedard and Adam Fantilli are both possible generational hits, and they will seriously change the future of a franchise.
While we won't know the results of the draft lottery for another hour, per Yanick Lesveque, general managers have already been informed of their position.
"During the noon edition of the show On Jase on RDS, Yanick Lévesque, who co-hosts with Martin Lemay, claimed that general managers are already informed of the lottery results before the show is broadcast on television.
According to him, the draw takes place in the afternoon, and Kent Hughes and his counterparts must keep the secret until the moment when Bill Daly, deputy commissioner of the NHL, presents the results in front of the cameras.
Yanick Lévesque made this statement explicitly during one of his interventions."
It can't be easy for GM's to keep their lips sealed with this type on info. Unfortunately for us fans, we'll have to wait a bit longer.
