Rachel Doerrie is a professional data consultant specializing in data communication and modelling. The 2024 draft lottery is in the rearview mirror, and for the first time, it was a chalk lottery. The teams that were supposed to get the top two picks -- the San Jose Sharks and the Chicago Blackhawks -- received the top two picks. Apart from some playoff seeding that could rearrange the draft order a little bit at the bottom, we know who is picking where.
