2017 NHL entry draft
General information
Date(s)June 23–24, 2017
LocationChicago, Illinois

The 2017 NHL Entry Draft will be the 55th NHL Entry Draft. The draft will be held on June 23–24, 2017 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.[1]

Eligibility

Ice hockey players born between January 1, 1997, and September 15, 1999, are eligible for selection in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. Additionally, un-drafted, non-North American players born in 1996 are eligible for the draft; and those players who were drafted in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, but not signed by an NHL team and who were born after June 30, 1997, are also eligible to re-enter the draft.[2]

Draft lottery

Since the 2012–13 NHL season all 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 first three picks overall in this draft 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] In the 2017 draft lottery, the expansion Vegas Golden Knights will have the same odds of winning the lottery as the team that finishes with the third fewest points in the 2016–17 NHL season. Vegas will pick no lower than sixth overall in the first-round, and will select third in each subsequent round of this draft.[5]
