NHL Draft

With the NHL Draft less than a month away, there are still some things to figure out, such as the Stanley Cup winner and the trophy presentation.  However, there are also 28 other teams that are now attempting to figure out how to shape their futures.  So, for future reference, I will put the draft order for the first round, as well as the first picks for teams who don't have a first round pick.

1. Florida Panthers
2. Buffalo Sabres
3. Edmonton Oilers
4. Calgary Flames
5. New York Islanders
6. Vancouver Canucks
7. Carolina Hurricanes
8. Toronto Maple Leafs
9. Winnipeg Jets
10. Anaheim Ducks (from Ottawa)
11. Nashville Predators
12. Arizona Coyotes
13. Washington Capitals
14. Dallas Stars
15. Detroit Red Wings
16. Columbus Blue Jackets
17. Philadelphia Flyers
18. Minnesota Wild
19. Tampa Bay Lightning
20. San Jose Sharks
21. St. Louis Blues
22. Pittsburgh Penguins

30. New Jersey Devils

The Rangers lost their first round pick this year in the Martin St. Louis trade when the Rangers made the Conference Finals while the Senators surrendered their pick in the Bobby Ryan trade last off-season.  Both teams have a second round pick.
