Here is a look at the selection order in the first round of the 2014 NHL Draft.

There is no denying that tonight is one of the most vital nights in the National Hockey League when it comes to building a championship team; the 2014 NHL Draft.

Tonight, all of the greatest young talent in the world of hockey will converge on the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; home of Claude Giroux and the Philadelphia Flyers in the hopes of being selected by an NHL team, thus beginning their journey into professional hockey.

Also converging on Philly tonight will be all of the league’s General Managers, Scouting Agents, and other various team staff ready to make a deal to fill some of their team’s greatest needs and build their team of the future; hopefully finding their next big star.

Here is a look at the official selection order for the first round of the draft, which kicks off at 7:00 p.m. EST tonight on the NBC Sports Network and TSN.

2014 First Round Selection Order Rank Team 1 Florida Panthers 2 Buffalo Sabres 3 Edmonton Oilers 4 Calgary Flames 5 New York Islanders 6 Vancouver Canucks 7 Carolina Hurricanes 8 Toronto Maple Leafs 9 Winnipeg Jets 10 Anaheim Ducks 11 Nashville Predators 12 Arizona Coyotes 13 Washington Capitals 14 Dallas Stars 15 Detroit Red Wings 16 Columbus Blue Jackets 17 Philadelphia Flyers 18 Minnesota Wild 19 Tampa Bay Lightning 20 San Jose Sharks 21 St. Louis Blues 22 Pittsburgh Penguins 23 Colorado Avalanche 24 Anaheim Ducks 25 Boston Bruins 26 Montreal Canadiens 27 Chicago Blackhawks 28 Tampa Bay Lightning* 29 Los Angeles Kings 30 New Jersey Devils**

* The Tampa Bay Lightning acquired this pick from the New York Rangers as a part of the Martin St. Louis/Ryan Callahan trade.

** The New Jersey Devils have the final pick in the first round based on sanctions put in place by the league due to the Ilya Kovalchuk situation.

Who the Tampa Bay Lightning will pick is not as abundantly clear as it was last year. We all know what the Lightning’s needs are at the moment; however, the question still lies in which one of those needs will Yzerman choose to fill first?

I guess we’ll have to watch and find out.
