← 2017 2019 →

The 2018 NHL entry draft was the second of two professional sports drafts to be held in theDallas–Fort Worth metroplex during the calendar year, as theDallas Cowboys hosted the2018 NFL draft in April.^[1]

The first three selections wereRasmus Dahlin by theBuffalo Sabres,Andrei Svechnikov by theCarolina Hurricanes, andJesperi Kotkaniemi by theMontreal Canadiens.

The 2018 draft featured both the first player trained in the United Kingdom to be drafted inLiam Kirk^[2] and the first Jamaican-born player drafted in Jermaine Loewen.

As of 2025 there are 65 active NHL players from this draft.

Ice hockey players that were born between January 1, 1998, and September 15, 2000, are eligible for selection in the 2018 NHL entry draft. Additionally, undrafted, non-North American players born in 1997 are eligible for the draft; and those players who were drafted in the2016 NHL entry draft, but not signed by an NHL team and who were born after June 30, 1998, are also eligible to re-enter the draft.^[3]

Since the2012–13 NHL season all teams not qualifying for theStanley Cup playoffs have a "weighted" chance at winning the first overall selection.^[4] Beginning with the2014–15 NHL season the NHL changed the weighting system that was used in previous years. Under the new system the odds of winning the draft lottery for the four lowest finishing teams in the league decreased, while the odds for the other non-playoff teams increased.^[5] TheBuffalo Sabres,Carolina Hurricanes andMontreal Canadiens won the lotteries that took place on April 28, 2018,^[6] giving them the first, second and third picks overall. The Buffalo Sabres retained the top pick, while Carolina moved up nine spots and Montreal moved up one spot.^[7] In the process, theOttawa Senators andArizona Coyotes moved down two spots from second and third overall, respectively, while theDetroit Red Wings,Vancouver Canucks,Chicago Blackhawks,New York Rangers,Edmonton Oilers andNew York Islanders each dropped one spot.
