The lottery went exactly as planned by the league.
Odds
25% Ottawa
24.5% Second phase draw
18.5% Detroit
9.5% Los Angeles
8.5% Anaheim
7.5% New Jersey
6.5% Buffalo
They didn't want Melnyk's team to win, so they stacked the second phase lottery % as close to Ottawa's odds as they could, and they got their second phase lottery. It would have been more obvious if Ottawa didn't have the SJS draft pick.

The Rangers got lucky winning the second phase, but any of those teams could have been the beneficiaries.
