The NHL Entry Draft is an annual event in which every team in the league drafted eligible players who have turned 18 years old by September 15th in the year of the draft. The draft order is determined by the previous season’s standings, with non-playoff teams drafting first, followed by the teams that made the playoffs, with the specific order determined by how far each team advanced in the playoffs.

For example, the Stanley Cup champion always drafts last. The NHL Entry Draft is held over two days, with rounds 1 through 7 on day one and rounds 8 through 9 on day two. In recent years however, many teams have chosen to trade their draft picks for established players or prospects from other teams.
