NHL Entry Draft  <2008 2010>

The 2009 NHL Entry Draft was the 47th talent draw of the National Hockey League and took place on June 26 and 27, 2009 at the Bell Center in Montreal , Québec .

The teams of the National Hockey League were able to secure the rights of all North American players born between January 1, 1989 and September 15, 1991, as well as all European players born between January 1, 1988 and September 15, 1991. Only players whose rights were not already held by an NHL team from a draft from previous years were available.

Draft order

The draft order of positions 1 to 14 was determined in April 2009 by the draft lottery. The 14 teams that failed to qualify for the playoffs took part in this weighted lottery and were seeded in the reverse order of the regular season table. The worst team of the past regular season was in first place and had a 25% chance of winning the lottery and the best of the 14 teams not qualified for the playoffs was in 14th place and had a chance of 0.5% . The lottery winner moved up four places in the draft order.

The draft order of the 16 playoff participants was only determined after the Stanley Cup final. The Stanley Cup winner was placed on position 30, the final opponent on position 29. The teams that failed in the Conference Finals were sorted into positions 27 and 28. The remaining teams were set based on their standings in the regular season. The rule was that the team with the fewest points was in 15th position. The draft order applied to all rounds of the Entry Draft. Teams could acquire draft picks from other teams via transfers, but their own could also be given to other teams.

No.	team	chance
1.	New York Islanders	25.0%
2.	Tampa Bay Lightning	18.8%
3.	Colorado Avalanche	14.2%
4th	Atlanta Thrashers	10.7%
5.	Los Angeles Kings	8.1%
6th	Phoenix Coyotes	6.2%
7th	Toronto Maple Leafs	4.7%
8th.	Dallas Stars	3.6%
9.	Ottawa Senators	2.7%
10.	Edmonton Oilers	2.1%
11.	Nashville Predators	1.5%
12.	Minnesota Wild	1.1%
13.	Buffalo Sabers	0.8%
14th	Florida panthers	0.5%

On April 14, 2009 the draft lottery took place, which had an impact on the order of the entry draft. It was a weighted lottery, with the New York Islanders, who were last in the league in the regular season, ranked first in the draft order and had the greatest chance of winning the lottery with 25 percent, while the Florida Panthers had little chance in 14th place. A total of 1000 number combinations were given to the 14 teams based on the weighted distribution, whereupon a member of the league removed a combination from a drum and thus determined the winner of the lottery. The winner could be upgraded by up to four places in the order. Thus, the fifth placed had the opportunity to get to first place. The New York Islanders won the lottery and retained the first draft of the draft.
