Buuxi weedhan soo socota: Daboolida iyo falcelinta taageerayaasha oo la mid ah ayaa lagu arkay National Hockey League. Caadi ahaan, ciyaartoyda lagu soo xulay NHL Entry Draft waxay sii wadaan inay ku ciyaaraan horyaalada hoose (inta badan kooxda ay ka tirsan yihiin horyaalka American Hockey League) ka hor inta aysan gaarin NHL, haddii ay gaaraan NHL. Sidaa darteed, marka la qorayo ciyaaryahan NHL u diyaarsan oo saameyn degdeg ah ku yeelan kara kooxdooda, waa la raadinayaa. Tusaalooyinka waxaa ka mid ah
1984 NHL Entry Draft, iyadoo kooxo badan ay raadinayeen inay galaan bakhtiyaa nasiibka ah ee lagu qorayo Mario Lemieux, ama 2005 NHL Entry Draft, oo loogu magac daray "Sidney Crosby Sweepstakes" maadaama la rumeysan yahay in guuleystaha bakhtiyaa nasiibka sanadkaas uu isla markiiba qorayo Sidney Crosby. 2015 NHL Entry Draft waxaa ku jiray laba rajo oo aad u sarreeya, Connor McDavid iyo Jack Eichel, oo si wax ku ool ah u damaanad qaadaya kooxda ugu dambeysa ee heli doonta ciyaaryahan heer sare ah, sidaa darteed taageerayaasha kooxaha dhexdhexaadka ah ayaa ku dhiirrigeliyay inay lumiyaan inta lagu gudajiray xilli ciyaareedka 2014-15 NHL. Tani waxaa si aad ah loogu arkay taageerayaasha Buffalo Sabres, kuwaas oo si firfircoon ugu taageeray kooxda ka soo horjeeda ciyaaraha guryahooda halka "The Buffalo News" ay si joogto ah u daabacday "McEichel Derby", taas oo la socotay darajada Sabres ee ka mid ah kooxaha ugu xun horyaalka. First Niagara Center ayaa si xun u caan baxday markii uu Sam Gagner oo ka tirsan Phoenix Coyotes uu dhaliyay gool lagu guuleystay ciyaartii xilli ciyaareedkii dambe, maadaama Coyotes-ka heerka hoose loo arko inay yihiin "halis" weyn oo Buffalo ah oo soo dejinaya labadii doorasho ee ugu sareysay. Sabres waxay xilli ciyaareedkii ku dhameysteen rikoodhkii ugu xumaa guud ahaan, iyagoo hubsaday doorashada labaad ee guud ee ay u adeegsadeen inay ku qoraan Eichel. NHL waxay dib u eegis ku sameeyeen qorshayaashooda xilli ciyaareedkii xigay, iyagoo ka saaray dammaanadda xulashada labaad ee kooxda ugu liita horyaalka waxayna ka dhigeen dhammaan 14 kooxood ee seegtay ciyaaraha inay xaq u leeyihiin inay ku guuleystaan seddexda ugu sareysa ee loo doorto bakhtiyaa-nasiibka.
