Starting at 7:30 p.m. on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada, one lucky franchise find their new face, and the anxiety and anticipation will come to a close: The hockey world will know the jersey Connor McDavid will wear in 2015-2016.

Today's the day. Here's everything you need.

[The 95 combinations that unlock McDavid for the Leafs](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2015-nhl-draft-lottery-all-95-combinations-for-the-leafs/)

Numbers! Four out of 14 ping pong balls will be drawn. The Leafs hold 95/1000 of the potential combinations.

The odds have changed in this year's draft, and will change once again in 2016 when the top three picks are subject to the lottery.

Prepare yourself for the worst, and study the other options. There's a 90.5% chance the Leafs don't get McDavid, but the consolation prizes aren't bad.

[My story on Travis Konecny and Jeremiah Addison](http://www.mckeenshockey.com/prospects-blog/konecny-addison-focus-67s-draft/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Two other top prospects in this year's draft that might be on the Leafs radar. Addison is more likely a third or fourth round pick.
