2014 NHL entry draft
The 2014 NHL entry draft was the 52nd draft for the National Hockey League. It was held on June 27–28, 2014, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The top three selections were Aaron Ekblad by the Florida Panthers, Sam Reinhart by the Buffalo Sabres, and Leon Draisaitl by the Edmonton Oilers. This draft featured the first selection of a player from Oceania with Australia's Nathan Walker being selected by the Washington Capitals in the third round.
As of 2026, there are 54 active NHL players from this draft.
Ice hockey players born between January 1, 1994, and September 15, 1996, are eligible for selection in the 2014 NHL entry draft. Additionally, un-drafted, non-North American players born in 1993 are eligible for the draft; and those players who were drafted in the 2012 NHL entry draft, but not signed by an NHL team and who were born after June 30, 1994, are also eligible to re-enter the draft.
Since the 2012–13 season, all 14 teams not qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs have a "weighted" chance at winning the first overall selection. The Florida Panthers won the 2014 draft lottery that took place on April 15, 2014, thus moving them from the second-overall pick to the first-overall pick.
The order of the 2014 entry draft is listed below.
