NHL Draft

The NHL Draft is an annual event where professional hockey teams select young, talented players, usually aged 17-18, to join their organizations. It acts as a primary method for teams to acquire new talent, helping build competitive rosters. Players are chosen based on their potential, skills, and performance in junior or amateur leagues. The draft typically occurs over multiple rounds, with teams taking turns to pick players in a set order. This process allows teams to plan for the future and develop their strengths by adding promising prospects to their roster.
