The 2014 NHL Entry Draft took place on June 27-28, 2014 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The top three selections of the draft were Aaron Ekblad, Sam Reinhart and Leon Draisaitl.
Draft Eligibility
Ice hockey players that were born between January 1, 1994 and September 15, 1996, are eligible for selection in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
Additionally, un-drafted, non-North American players born in 1993 are eligible for the draft and those players who were drafted in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, but not signed by an NHL team (and who were born after June 30, 1994) are also eligible to re-enter the draft.
Draft Lottery
Since the 2012–13 NHL season all fourteen teams not qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs have a "weighted" chance at winning the first overall selection.
On April 15, 2014, the Florida Panthers won the 2014 draft lottery which moved them from the second-overall pick to the first-overall pick.
