Draft lottery to take place in early May

The Saint John Sea Dogs will find out where their first selection is in the 2020 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Entry Draft within the next few weeks.

Steve Turcotte of Le Nouvelliste tweeted Wednesday night that the QMJHL's Draft Lottery, which was originally scheduled to take place last week, will happen sometime between May 4-10.
Stephane Leroux of RDS, meanwhile, reported Wednesday that the lottery will take place between May 4-15. Either way, we'll know in early May what the selection order will look like for the Entry Draft. When will that draft be? It sounds like it will stay on its original date, June 6, but, as the league already confirmed, will take place entirely online.
The Sea Dogs have a 9.5% chance of winning the right to select first overall in this year's draft. Saint John selected first overall in 2019 (Joshua Roy) and second overall in 2018 (William Villeneuve).
The Sea Dogs also own the Baie-Comeau Drakkar's first round pick.
