2023 NHL Draft Order: A look at all the picks

2022 Upper Deck NHL Draft - Round One
A look at all 224 picks of the 2023 NHL Draft

The first round of the 2023 NHL Draft is set to go down on Wednesday, June 28, in Nashville, Tennessee. Rounds 2-7 are set to take place on Thursday, June 29. Round 1 will be broadcast live on ESPN at 7 p.m. ET and rounds 2-7 will be televised at 11 a.m. ET on NHL Network.

The first overall pick belongs to the Chicago Blackhawks who are expected to select Connor Bedard, while the Anaheim Ducks will pick second overall. The final pick of the draft - 224th overall - will be made by the Vegas Golden Knights.

Of course, all the draft picks could be traded on draft day as teams look to move up in the draft, or deal picks for a current NHL player.

Overall, the Nashville Predators enter the draft with the most picks as they currently have 13. Both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning have the least amount of picks as they just have three picks, with Tampa Bay not picking until the sixth round. Toronto, meanwhile, has a first-round pick, a fifth-rounder and a sixth-rounder.
