Each team gets a pick in each round of the draft. Obviously that’s previous to they start trading them in desperation to add THE piece of the puzzle that they hope will place them over the top.
Each round consists of 30 picks. If no trades happened, then each team would have 1 pick each round. So basically, there are 30 first round picks, 30 second round picks, 30 third round picks, etc out there being traded around or kept.
Each team has a second round pick. They are traded often to get other players for those teams that are thought of the future instead of aptly now. So 30 teams about 10 rounds or so a year, so a lot of kids get drafted.
Each team is given one pick per round per draft. They can trade the rights to their pick to another team. Previous to the draft takes place, each team’s pick is assigned a digit, regardless of who now possesses it. Thus, whoever possesses the NY Islander’s 1st round 2009 draft pick (and it’s not necessarily the NY Islanders) will likely (but not with conviction) get the first pick this year.
It’s not the second pick overall; it’s the second ROUND pick.
