2015 NHL entry draft
General information
Date(s)June 26–27, 2015
LocationSunrise, Florida
Overview
First selectionCanada Connor McDavid
Selected by: Edmonton Oilers

The 2015 NHL Entry Draft is the 53rd NHL Entry Draft. The draft is being held on June 26–27, 2015 at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida.[1] The top three selections were Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Dylan Strome.

Eligibility

Ice hockey players born between January 1, 1995, and September 15, 1997, are eligible for selection in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. Additionally, un-drafted, non-North American players born in 1994 are eligible for the draft; and those players who were drafted in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, but not signed by an NHL team and who were born after June 30, 1995, are also eligible to re-enter the draft.[2]

Draft lottery

Since the 2012–13 NHL season all fourteen teams not qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs have a "weighted" chance at winning the first overall selection.[3] Beginning with the 2014–15 NHL season the NHL changed the weighting system that was used in previous years. Under the new system the odds of winning the draft lottery for the four lowest finishing teams in the league decreased, while the odds for the other non-playoff teams increased.[4] The Edmonton Oilers won the 2015 draft lottery that took place on April 18, 2015[5] thus moving them from the third-overall pick to the first-overall pick.
