Per NHL rules, the club selected in the Draft Drawing may not move up more than four positions in the draft order. Thus, the only clubs with the opportunity to receive the first overall selections are the five teams with the lowest regular-season point totals - Edmonton, Colorado, Florida, New York Islanders and Ottawa. No club can move down more than one position as a result of the Draft Drawing.
If there are no changes, the Wild would pick 10th overall, but there is a 2.1% chance of the team moving up to number six. The lowest Minnesota can pick would be 11th overall.
