Didn't really lose, no such thing as tanking. I think top 3 pick is combined 50% and 4th is 50% or something like that for worst team in league.

Taylor Hall: “They talk about Gretzky’s 92 goals or Sittler’s 10 pts in one game as records that may never be broken. But winning 5 draft lotteries in your first 9 years in the league? In 2 different draft lottery eras, no less. That is a record that will stand forever.”

If my calculations are correct, based on the fact that it was 25% in 2010/2011, 18.8% in 2012, 11.5% in 2015, 8.5% in 2017 and 18.5% this year, the odds of getting all of these are a whopping... 0.00212484% -andrews

18.5+16.5+14.4 = 49.4%
4th = 50.6%

either way, they "won" by getting the higher probability in 4th pick :rofl:
