One of the only good things about finishing at the bottom of the standings is that the chances of getting the very first pick in the NHL draft are very good. In fact, the team that finishes last has a 16.6% chance of winning the lottery.

It's still too early to speculate whether Shane Wright will ever play for the Habs, but imagine if he were to be the very first pick of the 2022 draft in a CH uniform at the Bell Centre. That would be quite a debut in the NHL.
This season, Wright, who plays for the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Junior League, has 77 points in 52 games and also played for Team Canada at the World Junior Championship last December.
