Format

The six teams picked in each of seven rounds for a total of 42 selections. The top two selections in the draft were determined by the gold plan, where standings points accumulated by a team that can no longer make the playoffs count as draft order points, and the team with the most draft order points received the first overall selection. Picks three through six went to the four playoff teams, in reverse order of regular season standings. The draft order was the same in each subsequent round. [7]

The draft order was as follows: [8]

SelectionTeamDraft order pointsStandings points
1 New York 626
2 Ottawa 032
3 Minnesota —35
4 Boston —35
5 Montreal —41
6 Toronto —47

Teams were permitted trade their picks beginning at the conclusion of the playoffs. [9]
