The 2007 NHL Entry Draft is the 45th NHL Entry Draft. It will be hosted at Nationwide Arena in the city of Columbus, Ohio, United States on June 22, 2007. The draft consists of seven rounds with rounds 2 through 7 taking place on June 23, 2007.[1] The draft will be televised on TSN and RDS, with the first round simulcasted in the United States on Versus.

Columbus Blue Jackets then President and General Manager Doug MacLean and the NHL announced the event on March 21, 2006. On March 13, 2007, it was reported that NHL owners had voted in favour of changes to the team ranking system which would begin at the 2007 draft.

Lottery System

Starting with the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, the Stanley Cup runner-up will receive the 29th pick, the conference finalists will get the 27th and 28th picks, and each team eliminated prior to the conference finals will receive the next higher picks.

The draft order of the first 14 picks was determined by a lottery involving the non-playoff teams on April 10 [2].

Under the weighted lottery system, the club with the fewest regular-season points had the greatest chance (25%) of winning the Draft Drawing and could pick no lower than second at the 2007 Entry Draft. The winner of the drawing would move up a maximum of four places, with all other clubs' draft order being adjusted accordingly (no team moving down more than one spot).

The Chicago Blackhawks, originally slated to draft in 5th place, won the lottery and as a result hold the first overall pick in the draft.[3]
