2016 NHL entry draft
General information
Date(s)June 24–25, 2016
LocationBuffalo, New York
Overview
First selectionTBA

The 2016 NHL Entry Draft will be the 54th NHL Entry Draft. The draft will be held from June 24–25, 2016 at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, New York.[1]

Eligibility

Ice hockey players born between January 1, 1996, and September 15, 1998, are eligible for selection in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Additionally, un-drafted, non-North American players born in 1995 are eligible for the draft; and those players who were drafted in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, but not signed by an NHL team and who were born after June 30, 1996, 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] Starting with this draft the first three picks overall will be awarded by lottery. The odds of winning the second and third draws will increase on a proportional basis depending on which team won the previous draw.[4] The draft lottery will take place on April 30, 2016.[5]
