The 2025 NHL regular season has drawn to a close with all eyes shifting toward the Stanley Cup playoffs. However, the season is over for more than half the teams in the league and the offseason will become the focus for every team eliminated during the playoffs. Here you can find the 2025 NHL Draft order for every round with NHL Draft picks by team.
Of course, the 2025 NHL Draft order is not quite official with the NHL Draft lottery still looming. However, we’ll keep you updated on where things stand with draft picks by team up to the NHL Draft on June 27.
