Ice hockey players born between January 1, 1995, and September 15, 1997, were eligible for selection in the 2015 NHL entry draft. Additionally, undrafted, non-North American players born in 1994 were eligible for the draft, and those players who were drafted in the2013 NHL entry draft, but not signed by an NHL team and who were born after June 30, 1995, were also eligible to re-enter the Draft.[2]
Since the2012–13 season, all 14 teams not qualifying for theStanley Cup playoffs have a "weighted" chance at winning the first overall selection.[3] Beginning with the2014–15 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.[4] TheEdmonton Oilers won the 2015 draft lottery that took place on April 18, 2015,[5] thus moving them from the third overall pick to the first overall pick.
