Full 2025 NHL Draft Order

Now that the NHL’s draft lottery results are in, most of the 2025 draft order has been set. There’s still some wiggle room near the bottom. Still, with the Oilers securing a bottom-four pick in each round by advancing to the Western Conference Final last night and all other second-round series in elimination game territory, it’s time to look at how the picks will shake out as things stand.

Many of these picks could still change hands leading up to and at the draft on June 27 and 28 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. It will be the first (and likely only) decentralized draft in recent memory. This list will be updated as picks are confirmed or traded.

Here’s the whole 2025 NHL draft order:
