Fantasy NHL Drafting The NHL Entry Draft consists of seven rounds, with each team assigned one pick in each round. Don’t worry since draft picks can be traded at any time, if ever you felt you picked the wrong guy for your team. Draft Order The 14 teams that missed the playoffs during the previous NHL season hold the first 14 picks. They draft in order of fewest points to most points, subject to the results of the draft lottery while the current Stanley Cup champion picks last (30th) and the runner-up picks the 29th. On the other hand, the other two conference finalists pick 28th and 27th respectively
and regular-season division winners will hold the other lowest positions. Remaining teams will draft in order of fewest points to most points from the previous regular season. Draft Lottery The selection order in the first round is subject to a lottery, held among the teams that hold the top 14 picks. There is only one winning team in the lottery. That team moves up a maximum of four places in the draft order. The lottery is weighted to favor the teams with the fewest points. It was introduced to prevent a weak team from deliberately losing to guarantee itself a high draft pick. Eligible Players Remember that players who turn 18 by September 15 and are not older than 20 by December 31 are eligible for selection. In addition, non-North American players over the age of 20 are eligible. A North American player who is not drafted by the age of 20 is an unrestricted free agent. All non-North Americans must be drafted before being signed, regardless of age. These will give you an idea of rookie players that may do well in your team.
