2013 NHL entry draft
The 2013 NHL entry draft was the 51st draft for the National Hockey League. It was held on June 30, 2013, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The top three selections were Nathan MacKinnon by the Colorado Avalanche, Aleksander Barkov by the Florida Panthers, and Jonathan Drouin by the Tampa Bay Lightning.
As of 2026, there are 50 active NHL players from this draft.
Ice hockey players born between January 1, 1993, and September 15, 1995, were eligible for selection in the 2013 NHL entry draft. Additionally, un-drafted, non-North American players born in 1992 were eligible for the draft; and those players who were drafted in the 2011 NHL entry draft, but not signed by an NHL team and who were born after June 30, 1993, were also eligible to re-enter the draft.
Beginning with the 2013 NHL entry draft, all 14 teams not qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs had a "weighted" chance at winning the first overall selection. The Colorado Avalanche won the 2013 draft lottery that took place on April 29, 2013, thus moving them up from the second pick to the first pick.
The order of the 2013 entry draft is listed below.
