Draft order

The draft sequence of positions 1 to 14 were determined in April 2009 by the Draft Lottery. The 14 teams that failed to qualify for the playoffs themselves, took part in the weighted lottery and were placed in the reverse order of the table of the regular season. Here, the worst team of the last regular season was on the first place and had a 25% chance of winning the lottery and the best of 14 not qualified for the playoffs teams was in 14th place and had a chance of 0.5 %. The winner of the lottery moved up four places on the draft order.

The draft sequence of the 16 playoff participants were only fixed after the Stanley Cup final. The Stanley Cup - winner was set to position 30, the final opponent at position 29. At position 27 and 28 failed in the Conference Finals teams were sorted. The remaining teams were placed in the regular season based on their table stand. It was considered that the team is in position 15 with the fewest points obtained. The draft order was for all rounds of the Entry Draft. Teams were able to transfer acquired draft picks from other teams, but also his own to be given to other teams.
