Bring NHL Draft Lottery Excitement to Your Fantasy League
The NHL Draft Lottery is must-watch TV for hockey fans. Now bring that same energy to your fantasy hockey league. Our simulator uses weighted ping-pong ball odds — just like the real NHL — to give bottom-dwelling teams the best shot at franchise-changing talent while keeping every non-playoff team in the hunt.
Fantasy hockey rosters are deep, often 20+ players, making draft position especially important. The difference between the 1st and 10th pick in a 12-team league impacts every round of the snake draft. A weighted lottery ensures the teams that need the most help get the best odds — without guaranteeing anything.
Schedule the reveal for your league's draft day or the night of the real NHL Draft Lottery. Share one link and let everyone flip the picks together, one card at a time.
