Los Angeles will be the home of the 2025 NHL Draft in June, The Fourth Period and ESPN reported Monday.
But that doesn’t mean all 32 franchises will set up shop in the City of Angels for the week.
The NHL will join the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball in moving to a decentralized draft format for the first time.
Top prospects will still attend the draft at the Peacock Theater and be greeted by commissioner Gary Bettman on stage when he calls their names, but teams’ decision-makers will operate from their home bases rather than the draft floor as in years past.
The draft is scheduled for June 27-28. It was held at the Sphere in Las Vegas last summer.
