The Vancouver Canucks have secured the best odds for the first overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery, with a 25.5% chance after finishing last in the 2025-26 season. If they do not retain the first pick, they can fall to third, with an 18.8% chance of picking second and a 55.7% chance of third. Historical trends suggest that teams finishing last often do not secure the top pick. The lottery is scheduled for May 5, 2026, and will be broadcast on Sportsnet.
