2014_NHL_DRAFT-LOGO_BIG

On Monday, the NHL announced the official order for picks one through 30 at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, to be held in Philadelphia from June 27-28.

Some notes about the order...

-- The first 13 picks were decided at April’s draft lottery, won by the Florida Panthers. The Panthers will select first overall; despite being a lottery team, the New Jersey Devils were given the 30th overall selection as an amendment to their punishment stemming from the Ilya Kovalchuk contract situation.

-- Anaheim gets Ottawa’s pick at No. 10 from last summer’s Bobby Ryan trade.

-- Tampa Bay gets New York’s pick at No. 28 from the trade deadline acquisition of Martin St. Louis.

-- The Islanders had to the option to send this year’s pick (No. 5 overall) to Buffalo as part of the Thomas Vanek trade, but opted to retain the selection and forward their 2015 first-rounder instead.
