How the NHL draft works

The NHL Draft follows a standardized format that takes place over several rounds. The order of selection is determined on the basis of the teams’ performance in the previous season.

The teams that didn’t qualify for the playoffs get the first picks, with the team with the worst performance getting the first pick. Teams that advance further in the playoffs usually have lower picks.

The Draft takes place over seven rounds, and each team has a selection in each round, with the exception of teams that have made trades to acquire additional selections or traded selections.
