How are picks made?

The 2021 NHL Draft will be held on Friday, July 23rd and Saturday, July 24th. It will be the first time in NHL history that the Draft will be held outdoors, at theDallas Stars’ American Airlines Center.

The first round of the Draft will be held on Friday night, with rounds 2-7 taking place on Saturday afternoon.

In each round of the Draft, each team is given one pick. The order of picks is determined by a combination of two factors:
– each team’s record from the previous season (with the team that finished last overall being given the first pick, and so on), and
– which team won the Stanley Cup (with the Stanley Cup winner being given the last pick in each round).

So, for example, if Team A finishes last overall and Team B wins the Stanley Cup, Team A would get the first pick in the Draft while Team B would get the last pick in each round.

What is the order of the NHL Draft?

The order of the NHL Draft is determined by a combination of the previous year’s standings and a draft lottery. The draft lottery is used to determine the order for the first 14 picks. The rest of the picks are ordered reverse-standings, meaning the team with the worst record gets the 15th pick and so on.
