I did this last year and I believe it went over pretty well.

Please note Eliminated teams have moved up the list temporarily, in some cases like Colorado their "current position" is higher than their best possible position, just because I am not sure which teams will pick ahead of them.

This also may not be 100% correct too, this is just to the best of my knowledge.

Okay, so this is how the draft order is decided this year.

  • Pick #1: Draft Lottery Winner
  • Picks #2-13: Non-playoff teams in reverse order of regular season standings (excluding New Jersey Devils)
  • Picks #14-25: Teams eliminated 1st and 2nd rounds of playoffs. Non-division winners in the reverse order of the standings, then division winners in the reverse order of the regular season standings.
  • Picks #26 & 27: Conference Finalists in reverse order of the regular season standings
  • Pick #28: Stanley Cup Finalist
  • Pick #29: Stanley Cup Winner
  • Pick #30: New Jersey Devils

Don't think New York will give the Sabres this years pick after getting Halak. Rangers will probably give the pick to Tampa, they look pretty good and I think they can beat Pittsburgh.

I have all 7 rounds up now. I will update the draft order at the conclusion of the second round.

Also note that I have not factored in the possibility of a 1st round pick from previous years not signing with the NHL team that holds their rights. If this does happen the team that drafted the player will receive a compensatory 2nd round pick 30 spots after where they drafted the player. For example if the player was drafted 17th overall, the compensation would be the 47th overall pick. This information should be known June 1st.

Conditions on picks #20 and #22 are incorrect, and the Rangers have reached the conference finals so their pick transfers to Tampa Bay.

Came to say this.

20 San Jose Sharks 20 21 Pick will transfer to Sabres if Ryan Miller is re-signed or traded

22 Colorado Avalanche 22 23 Pick will transfer to Lightning if the Rangers reach the Conference Finals

apparently I shouldn't be updating these things half asleep :laugh:

does it look better now?

I also removed the conditions of the Robidas deal, there is no chance he returns to the playoffs and plays in 50% of the Ducks playoff games. So the Ducks keep their 3rd and the Stars get the Ducks' 4th.

updated to include Conference Finalists.

Simply put an LA win and the order stays the same, NY win and the LAK/NYR picks flip flop.

Here'so how I see it.

#4-Sam Bennett

#34-Jack Dougherty

#54-Jacob Middleton

#64-Hunter Smith/Ben Thomas

#83-Bryce Martin/Keegan Iverson/Pavel Krakowski (Starts getting hazy here)

#175- Brett Boehm/Kyle Wood (6'5" 229 lbs RD)

#184-Daniel Bagenda (Swedish RW PWF)

That would be a pretty great draft for us if any of those players are taken at those spots.

Bagenda should go late 3rd, early 4h
