TEAM HUT DRAFTS
Prior to the Club Championship and the European Championship, an online "serpentine" draft is administered where each participating player will draft a 25-person HUT team from 280 total NHL players. Each roster is comprised of twelve forwards, six defensemen, two goaltenders, and five additional skaters. Players may draft available NHL players in any order. Once a player is chosen, no other player will be able to choose that NHL player. No trades may be conducted either during the draft or after the draft concludes.
Both the European and MassMutual NHL East Division HUT drafts have been determined. Rosters can be viewed at the below links.
