It is important to note that the Golden Knights will pick third in each subsequent round, regardless of where they finished in the draft lottery. This is to try to give the expansion team a bit of an advantage heading into their first season. The wheeling and dealing will ramp up this week, and several of these picks will likely be in play.
the blackhawks are skipped in this draft order, where do they pick?
Isn’t there 31 teams?
Forgot Chicago at 26
Is Chicago not showing for you guys? I edited them in about 10 seconds after publishing the initial article.

Wow the Rangers finally got a first round pick for the first time in forever. Thank god
First rounders aren’t always the best players- example is McIlrath vs Lundqvist
I wonder what Wild would have to trade to get back into the first round.
