While no team in the NHL will admit to tanking, we saw back in the end of the 2015 season when the Buffalo Sabres and Arizona Coyotes were playing each other in the final game, the loser was going to have the best odds at drafting McDavid and the fans were actually cheering when their team lost. Sadly, in the end, Edmonton won the lottery again and got him.
Well, with Bedard being the possible next superstar, teams are drooling at the chances to draft him, and with all the bottom of the standing teams completing their season, here are the teams with the best odds of landing the 1st overall pick:
If for some reason, Bedard falls to #2, the Senators have a 2.5% chance of landing him, and Buffalo has a 2% chance.
