This is an attempt to show the breakdown of drafted players by the team from which they were drafted. The numbers shown here should only be used as a rough estimate, because it is often difficult to interpret this information as released by the drafting league, particularly for lesser-known players selected in later rounds.

For example, even on the NHL's own website, many players are listed on teams that are identified as playing on a team in "Sweden". But which league? Eliteserien? Allsvensken? Something else? without having a complete picture of every team and league, it is difficult to know.
