[Lee]

Need to confirm draft lottery date.

[Matthew]

Anyone know the date of the NHL draft lottery? Last year's was April 30th.

[Shoalzie]

Usually end of April/early May...

[foofnik]

Not announced yet, they usually announce it after playoffs start

[thom54]

April 29th - not official yet, this is per Elliot ... so 99%

[Shoalzie]

The lottery will indeed be on the 29th.

[The BBKL Insider]

we should probably do our expansion draft soon. It will promote a busy offseason. It will also give Tim something to trade.

i know a few of us don't plan to deal until expansion is over.

[Shoalzie]

We're trying to pin down the official dates...we've been talking to Tim about when he's available to make his expansion draft picks. He's likely going to get a 5 day window after we submit our protected lists where he'll get make his choices. Our expansion draft will be before the traditional June 1 start to our entry draft.

Sounds great, thanks Scott!

[Bruyns]

Just to give people a heads up there is a good chance protection lists will be due May 15th so we have about a month.
