The NHL draft starts three weeks from today on June 22 in Dallas. The first round will be Friday night and the remaining rounds will be on Saturday. The Lightning are without their first-round pick this year because of the Ryan McDonagh trade, but they have the rest of their picks and an extra seventh-round pick acquired from the Los Angeles Kings in the trade for Boko Imama.
The Lightning’s first scheduled pick is 59th overall, which is toward the end of the second round. But the Lightning could potentially trade back into the first round.
