WINDSOR – The National Hockey League Fantasy League announced today the start time for the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery, set for 6:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 7, at NHL Network’s Secaucus, N.J., studio. As previously announced, the event will be broadcast live on ESPN, Sportsnet and TVA Sports.
The 2024 NHLFL Draft Lottery will determine the order of selection for the first 8 picks in the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft. Participants are all teams that did not qualify for the 2024 NHLFL Stanley Cup Playoffs (or the teams that have acquired the first-round drafting positions of those non-playoff teams).
REMINDER: The NHLFL announced changes to the Draft Lottery format on March 23, 2021. Among the changes in effect since 2022 is a limit on the total number of selections (2) a team participating in the Draft Lottery can “move up or down” in the event it wins one of the Lottery Draws. Thus, only the top 3 seeds will be eligible to receive the first overall selection in the 2024 NHL Draft.
The allocation of odds for the 1st Lottery Draw of the 2024 NHLFL Draft Lottery is as follows:
The 8 other teams not selected in the 2024 NHLFL Draft Lottery will be assigned the remaining 2024 NHLFL Draft selections (among 1 through 8 in the first round), in inverse order of regular-season points and playoff finish when applicable.
NHLFL Central Scouting has released its final rankings for the 2024 NHLFL Draft, where Boston University (Hockey East) forward Macklin Celebrini tops the list of North America-based skaters and Nizhny Novgorod (KHL) defenseman Anton Silayev leads all Europe-based skaters.
The 2024 NHLFL Scouting Combine, showcasing the top draft-eligible North American and international prospects, will be held from June 2-8 at KeyBank Center and LECOM Harborcenter in Buffalo, N.Y.
The NHLFL 2024 Entry Draft date and time is TBD but the location will be at The Sphere in Las Vegas, NV.
