Determining the NHL Draft Order

1

All teams missing the playoffs are in the Lottery

2

Teams with the least points get more chances at winning the Lottery

3

The 1st overall pick is awarded by a drawing of ping pong balls. A team can only jump ten spots, so only the top 11 teams are eligible for the 1st pick. If a team in the 12-16 range wins the first drawing, the first pick will be awarded to the worst team. The 12-16 seed team that won the first drawing is also locked into their new position.

4

A second drawing is held to determine the other lottery winner. Like the first drawing, the second winner can only jump ten spots, but this time it is using the re-seeded order following the first drawing. This second drawing will not affect the team(s) with locked-in positions from the first drawing. If a ten spot jump is to a pick that is already locked-in, this team will receive the next available pick.

5

Teams are only allowed to improve their positioning via the Lottery twice in a five year period (beginning with the 2022 Lottery).

6

Ties are broken by teams' total number of regulation wins (RW), regulation and non-shootout overtime wins (ROW), and then head-to-head if still tied

7

Playoff teams that did not win their divisions and did not make the conference finals, sorted by points, are assigned the next picks

8

Playoff teams that won their divisions and did not make the conference finals, sorted by points, are assigned the next picks

9

Conference finals losers sorted by points are assigned picks 29 and 30

10

Stanley Cup runner-up is assigned pick 31

11

Stanley Cup champion is assigned pick 32

12
