2010 Draft Order
After much anticipation, the Edmonton Oilers won the 2010 LG NHL Draft Lottery.
The results mean the Oilers will select first in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft and will have the luxury of deciding whether to take Taylor Hall of the OHL's Windsor Spitfires or Tyler Seguin of the Plymouth Whalers.
The other 16 NHL teams were officially added to the draft order at the conclusion of the Stanley Cup Final.
Watch live coverage of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in Los Angeles, Friday, June 25 at 7pm et/4pm pt on TSN and TSN HD.
