The 2023 NHL Draft Lottery is going to be a must-watch event for hockey fans.
Sure, it’s no Stanley Cup Playoffs, but the NHL draft lottery is as important of an event as it comes for teams in the bottom half this year. Why? Because getting to draft No. 1 overall will guarantee a team is able to select 17-year-old Connor Bedard, one of the next great hockey superstars, at this year’s draft.
