While the odds are against the Nashville Predators at 3.5% to land the No. 1 overall draft pick, they still have a chance to strike gold. The New York Islanders pulled off the miracle, 10th-best odds to No. 1 pick last season. Who's to say the Predators can't do it again? Gavin McKenna is the prize to be won in June as the lottery balls will roll on Tuesday night at 6 p.m. CST. At the same time, Predator fans should prepare for the 96.5% chance to land in another top 12 spot, with their highest odds to pick at 10th overall. With so much focus on the draft lottery, fans shouldn't forget about Roman Josi, Justus Annunen, Ryan O'Reilly and Jack Ivankovic playing at the IIHF World Championship.
