stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know which draft picks that we have for this year? So we still have low ones...or are we going to continue to find diamonds in the rough as we always do ? We have not traded any of this years picks, or acquired any for this upcoming draft, so we have all 7 rounds picks in the order we place in... the order will not be determined until the end of the playoffs, but you can bet we'll be in the bottom 4-6 picks. (pick 24-30 of each round) picks 1-26 go according to standings at the end of the season (pick 1 goes to the worst team, pick 2, second worst team and so on)... then picks 27-30 are awarded depending on the results of the conference finals - pick 30, Stanley cup champs pick 29, Stanley cup runner up Pick 28 and 27 go to the losers of the conference finals - pick 27 going to the team with the poorer standings from the regular season hope this helps Edited March 11, 2009 by stevkrause Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is not quite correct. Our 4th round pick this year has gone to Los Angeles as part of the Stuart trade in 2008. See also Wikipedia. THE NHL website also used to have an overview of every team's draft picks, but the link has vanished into nirvana somehow. Nevertheless, I'm surprised that we have draft picks in every of the first three rounds this year. Edited March 11, 2009 by German Red Wing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Picks 1-14 are according to a weighted lottery. Picks 15-30 are set after the playoffs. And you don't automatically get the 1st overall for finishing 30th. You actually only have a 48.2% chance of getting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you don't automatically get the 1st overall for finishing 30th. You actually only have a 48.2% chance of getting it. Here is how the playoff teams draft order is figured out Draft order for playoff teams The remaining draft picks are ordered at the conclusion of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The newly-crowned Stanley Cup champion is awarded the 30th and last pick, and the runner-up the 29th pick. The teams eliminated in the conference finals are awarded the 28th and 27th picks, with the 28th pick going to the team with the better regular season record. Remaining division winners are next ranked starting at the 26th pick, and wild card participants are ranked to fill the balance. In both cases, better records result in later picks.

Done a little differently than the NBA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
