NHL Entry Draft

|||
The 2019 NHL Entry Draft took place on June 21 and 22, 2019. The venue for the 57th edition of the NHL Entry Draft was the Rogers Arena in Vancouver . In seven rounds, the NHL teams selected 217 players.
In first overall position , the New Jersey Devils chose the US center Jack Hughes , followed by the Finnish winger Kaapo Kakko for the New York Rangers and the Canadian center Kirby Dach for the Chicago Blackhawks .
Available players
All players born between January 1, 1999 and September 15, 2001 were eligible for the draft. In addition, all undrafted, non-North American players over the age of 20 were eligible for the draft. Also available were those players who were selected in the NHL Entry Draft 2017 and had not signed an entry contract with their original draft club by the time of the Entry Draft 2019 .

The draft order of all teams that did not reach the playoffs in the 2018/19 season was determined by the draft lottery. As in previous years, not only the first right to vote was raffled, but also the second and third. The chances of winning were similar to those of the previous year.
The draft lottery took place on April 9, 2019, with the New Jersey Devils as the third worst team of the previous season being awarded the first right to vote. The second right to vote went to the New York Rangers , which rose four places. The third lottery was won by the Chicago Blackhawks, climbing nine places.
The draft order of the 16 playoff participants was determined after the Stanley Cup final. The Stanley Cup winner was placed on position 31, the opponent in the final on position 30. The teams eliminated in the conference finals were sorted into positions 28 and 29. The remaining playoff teams were set based on their standings in the regular season. The rule was that the team with the fewest table points was in 16th position. The draft order applied to all rounds of the Entry Draft, so the lottery only changed the order of the first round of voting. In addition, the teams could acquire voting rights from other teams via transfers as well as give their own to other teams.
Transfer of first-round voting rights
| date | From | To | annotation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5th November 2017 | Colorado Avalanche | The Ottawa Senators received Matt Duchene and in exchange sent Kyle Turris , Andrew Hammond , Shane Bowers, and conditional first-round suffrage and third-round suffrage for the 2019 draft to Colorado. Ottawa had the option to postpone the first-round voting rights from the 2018 draft by one year, provided that the voting rights were within the first ten positions. This happened and the Senators decided to vote in 4th position in 2018, so the electoral law for 2019 switched to the Avalanche. | |
| February 26, 2018 | San Jose Sharks | Buffalo Sabers | The San Jose Sharks received Evander Kane and in return sent Daniel O'Regan , a conditional first-round suffrage and a conditional four-round suffrage for the 2019 draft to Buffalo. The condition for the first-round right to vote - that Kane signs a new contract in San Jose - was met in May of the same year; otherwise it would have been converted into second-round voting. |
| 1st July 2018 | St. Louis Blues | Buffalo Sabers | The St. Louis Blues received Ryan O'Reilly and in return sent Tage Thompson , Vladimír Sobotka , Patrik Berglund as well as the first-round suffrage and a second-round suffrage for the NHL Entry Draft 2021 to Buffalo. |
| January 28, 2019 | Toronto Maple Leafs | Los Angeles Kings | The Toronto Maple Leafs received Jake Muzzin and in return sent Carl Grundström , Sean Durzi and the first-round suffrage to Los Angeles. |
| February 22, 2019 | Columbus Blue Jackets | Ottawa Senators | The Columbus Blue Jackets were given to Matt Duchene and Julius Bergman and, in return, sent Vitali Abramow , Jonathan Davidsson , the first-round right to vote and a conditional first-round right to vote in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft to Ottawa. |
| February 24, 2019 | Buffalo Sabers | Anaheim Ducks | The Buffalo Sabers received Brandon Montour and in return sent Brendan Guhle and a first-round franchise to Anaheim. The Ducks should be given the right to vote that originally belonged to the Sharks, and at the same time have the option to choose that of the St. Louis Blues instead, provided that it ranks between the 20th and 31st pick. The latter was fulfilled, but the Sharks (# 29) suffrage was higher than that of the Blues (# 31), so that it remained with the suffrage of San Jose. |
| February 25, 2019 | Winnipeg Jets | New York Rangers | The Winnipeg Jets received Kevin Hayes and in return sent Brendan Lemieux , the first-round right to vote and a conditional four-round right to vote in the NHL Entry Draft 2022 to New York. |
| 18th June 2019 | New York Rangers | Winnipeg Jets | The New York Rangers received Jacob Trouba in exchange for Neal Pionk and the first-round franchise that originally belonged to the Jets to Winnipeg. |
| June 21, 2019 |
Philadelphia Flyers (Exchange) |
Arizona Coyotes (Swap) |
The Philadelphia Flyers gave their first round suffrage for the 11th position to the Arizona Coyotes and received their first round suffrage for the 14th position and a second round suffrage (45th position). |
