The '''2005 NHL entry draft''' was the 43rd [[NHL entry draft|entry draft]] for the [[National Hockey League]]. Originally scheduled to be held on June 25, it was postponed to July 30 due to the [[2004–05 NHL lockout]].

Special procedures were required to determine the order of picks, because the previous season had been cancelled due to the lockout. The first overall pick was won in a lottery by the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]], who selected [[Sidney Crosby]].

As of 2025, the remaining active players in the NHL from this draft are [[Sidney Crosby]], [[Jack Johnson (ice hockey)|Jack Johnson]], [[Anže Kopitar|Anze Kopitar]], [[Kris Letang]], [[Jonathan Quick]], [[Ryan Reaves]], and [[Marc-Édouard Vlasic|Marc-Edouard Vlasic]].

== Venue ==

The draft was originally scheduled to be held on June 25, hosted by the [[Ottawa Senators]] at the [[Corel Centre]] (their home rink). However, the [[2004–05 NHL lockout]] was still ongoing, causing the draft to be postponed. The lockout ended on July 22 with the approval of a new [[NHL collective bargaining agreement]] (CBA). The CBA set the new date of the draft as July 30. The Corel Centre was still available but could not be used on such short notice. The draft was instead held at the [[Westin Hotel]] in [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]]. The Senators were compensated by hosting the [[2008 NHL entry draft|2008 draft]] instead.

As a result of the rearrangement, the draft was not open to the public, for the first time since 1980. Nor was it possible for large numbers of drafted players to attend: only the twenty highest prospects on the [[NHL Central Scouting]] rankings were present.

== Procedures ==
The order of draft picks was usually determined by team performance in the previous season, with teams picking in the same order in each round (modified by any [[trade (sports)|trading]] of draft picks). However, the lockout had led to the complete cancellation of the [[2004–05 NHL season]], so there were no final positions to base the draft order on. The new CBA modified the draft procedures accordingly.

The order of picks in the first round was determined by [[#Lottery|a weighted lottery]]. In the second round this order was reversed, so the team with the 30th pick would also receive the 31st pick, whilst the team with first overall pick would not pick again until the 60th pick (last pick in the second round). The order would continue alternating in each subsequent round, producing a 'snaking' order.<ref name="procedure">{{cite news |title=PENGUINS WIN DRAFT DRAWING, OBTAIN FIRST PICK FOR 2005 ENTRY DRAFT |url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26401 |access-date=14 November 2019 |work=www.nhl.com |date=22 July 2005 |language=en}}</ref> Teams were permitted to trade their draft picks as usual, which led to some modifications to the order.

The new CBA reduced the draft length to seven rounds, compared to the nine rounds used previously. As a result, 230 players were selected.

=== Lottery ===
The lottery was held on July 22, the same day that the new CBA was approved. The top-rated prospect in this draft was [[Sidney Crosby]], and it was widely assumed that he would be the first overall pick by whichever team won the lottery, so it became known colloquially as the 'Sidney Crosby Sweepstakes'.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Liput |first1=J.

Teams were weighted based on playoff appearances in the last three completed seasons (2001–02, 02-03 and 03–04), and first overall picks in the last four drafts (2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004). Three lottery balls each were assigned to teams which had not qualified for any of those playoffs and received no first overall picks in that period. Teams which had one playoff appearance or first overall pick in those years were given two lottery balls. All other teams received one lottery ball.<ref name=procedure/>

'''Three balls'''
*[[Buffalo Sabres]], [[Columbus Blue Jackets]], [[New York Rangers]], [[Pittsburgh Penguins]]

'''Two balls'''
*[[Anaheim Ducks|Mighty Ducks of Anaheim]], [[Atlanta Thrashers]], [[Calgary Flames]], [[Carolina Hurricanes]], [[Chicago Blackhawks]], [[Edmonton Oilers]], [[Los Angeles Kings]], [[Minnesota Wild]], [[Nashville Predators]], [[Arizona Coyotes|Phoenix Coyotes]]

'''One ball'''
*[[Boston Bruins]], [[Colorado Avalanche]], [[Dallas Stars]], [[Detroit Red Wings]], [[Florida Panthers]], [[Montreal Canadiens]], [[New Jersey Devils]], [[New York Islanders]], [[Ottawa Senators]], [[Philadelphia Flyers]], [[San Jose Sharks]], [[St. Louis Blues]], [[Tampa Bay Lightning]], [[Toronto Maple Leafs]], [[Vancouver Canucks]], [[Washington Capitals]]

This produced a total of 48 lottery balls. As a result, teams with three balls had a 6.3% chance of winning the lottery, two balls 4.2%, and one ball 2.1%.<ref name=procedure/> The Pittsburgh Penguins won the lottery and therefore the first overall pick. Further drawing of team names was used to determine the order of the remaining picks.<ref name=procedure/>
