2007 NHL ENTRY DRAFT
PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
Players eligible for selection in the seven rounds (plus compensatory
picks) of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft are subject to the following:
• North American players born between January 1, 1987 and
September 15, 1989 are eligible for selection in all rounds.
• Non-North American players born between January 1, 1986 and
September 15, 1989 are eligible for selection in all rounds.
NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING
In its 31st year of operation, the NHL Central Scouting Service provides scouting and evaluation of draft-eligible players to NHL member
clubs. Headed by Director of Central Scouting E.J. McGuire, NHL Central
Scouting employs nine full-time and six part-time scouts throughout
North America and works with Goran Stubb of the European Scouting
Service and his staff of five full-time scouts to cover prospects playing
throughout Europe. Combined, the NHL Central Scouting and European
Scouting Service will have seen in excess of 3,000 games this season.
DRAFTING ORDER
The NHL’s annual Draft Drawing is a weighted lottery system to determine the order of selection for the first 14 picks of the 2007 Entry Draft.
The 14 teams that did not qualify for this season’s Stanley Cup
Playoffs, or clubs that acquired those clubs’ 2007 first-round draft picks,
participated in the Drawing.
The Club selected in the drawing may not move up more than four
positions in the draft order, thus only the five Clubs with the fewest regular-season points had the opportunity to receive the first overall selection. No Club can move down more than one position as a result of the
Draft Drawing. For 2007, Chicago won the right to the first overall pick.
Following is a listing of the results of previous Draft Drawings:

his parents have had the most influence on his career with their effort and support… outside of sports he admires “soldiers that go to war for their countries”… if he could have dinner with any three people he would invite: his
favorite player Darcy Tucker, NBA great Charles Barkley for his sense of humor and
Wayne Gretzky because he has “infinite respect for him”… favorites include:
“deke to the forehand, shoot high glove” (shootout move), Seinfeld (TV show),
Boondock Saints (movie), Garth Brooks (singer), Sugarland (group), Vince Vaughn
(actor) and NHL 2007 (video).

2007 NHL Entry Draft Media Guide
Hockey in Canada
Hockey Canada
Hockey Canada (formerly the Canadian Hockey Association) is the sole
governing body for amateur hockey in Canada.
More than 4.5 million Canadians are involved with hockey in some
capacity, with more than 1.5 million games and two million practices held
every year in Canada in more than 2,500 arenas across the country.
Operating in cooperation with 13 regional branches located in each
province and territory, Hockey Canada manages the sport in Canada from
the entry level to the highest level of international competition, including
the World Championships, World Junior Championships, the World Cup
of Hockey and the Olympic Winter Games.
Hockey Canada operates regional Centres of Excellence across Canada,
in partnership with Canadian-based NHL and AHL teams. The Centres of
Excellence, located in Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Saint John, New
Brunswick, run international and national coaching symposiums, as well
as clinics for players, officials and parents that focus on skill development
at the grass roots level.
Hockey Canada's High Performance program focuses on international
teams and competitions in which Canada competes. Through evaluation
camps held throughout the year, it identifies the top players in Canada at
the Under-17, Under-18, and Under-20 levels and prepares these team's
coaches and players for international competition.
Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS)
The CIS (formerly the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union) serves as
the governing body for university athletics in Canada. University hockey
provides players with the opportunity to combine hockey and post-secondary academics. Players who have graduated from Canadian university
hockey and continued on to play in the National Hockey League have, in
most instances, attended university following their junior hockey careers.
CIAU graduates who have played in the NHL in recent seasons include
Steve Rucchin (U. of Western Ontario), Cory Cross (U. of Alberta) and P.J.
Stock (St. Francis Xavier).
Junior A, Junior B, High Schools
Other draftees are scouted from high schools, Junior A and Junior B
(under-20 years of age) leagues. These teams produce the majority of
players who enter U.S. colleges and the CHL, however, many players have
been drafted directly from these Junior leagues to the NHL.
Canadian Hockey League (CHL)
The largest hockey league in the world, the CHL consists of 58 member
clubs in three leagues: the Western Hockey League (WHL), Ontario
Hockey League (OHL) and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League
(QMJHL).
Half (50.2%) of all players selected in the NHL Entry Draft have graduated from the CHL.
First formed in 1966, the Canadian Major Junior Hockey League was a
seven-team league with teams in Alberta and Saskatchewan. A year later,
the league expanded to include Manitoba, becoming the Western Hockey
League. It later added British Columbia in 1971, covering all of Western
Canada.

With similar leagues created in Quebec (QMJHL) in 1969 and Ontario
(OMJHL) in 1974, it was proposed that the three leagues merge to
become one league spanning from coast to coast. So, in 1975, the
Canadian Major Junior Hockey League was formed, later named the
Canadian Hockey League in 1987.
Beginning in 1992, the CHL has staged an annual Import Draft, allowing each CHL team to access the top junior aged European-born players.
However, only two Europeans can appear on each team’s roster at any
time.

The OHL consists of 20 teams playing out of four divisions. The majority of teams are based in Ontario, but there are also franchises in
Michigan and Pennsylvania. Players enter the OHL through the annual
priority draft, selecting the top players (16 years of age, plus provisions
for “exceptional” 15-year-olds) from bantam and midget leagues, and
the Junior A, B, C and D system. Since 1969, 1,858 OHL players have
been selected to the NHL, including 29 during the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

The QMJHL is made up up 18 teams divided into two divisions.
Franchises are based in Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince
Edward Island, Newfoundland and Maine. Players enter the QMJHL via
an annual midget draft. Scouts from the QMJHL attend hockey games
at all levels, from midget to Junior A. Players 16 years of age on or
before December 31 from a territory including Quebec, Atlantic Canada
and the Eastern United States, are eligible for claim. Since 1969, 900
players from the QMJHL have been selected in the NHL Entry Draft,
including 25 in 2006.

Divided into four divisions, the WHL consists of 20 teams from British
Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Washington and Oregon.
Since 1990, the WHL has conducted an annual bantam draft, allowing
teams to draft players who have finished their first season of bantam eligibility (14-15 yrs of age). Since 1969, 1,614 WHL players have been
picked in the Entry Draft, including 24 during the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.

Hockey in the United States
There are three elite systems for hockey development in the United States:
USA Hockey, the high school and collegiate leagues (NCAA) and regional
junior leagues.
USA Hockey
Hockey in the United States is based primarily on the National Team
Development Program, which has been committed to the regional development of the sport and gaining a higher profile in international competition.
USA Hockey is the official representative to the IIHF (International Ice
Hockey Federation) and the USOC (United States Olympic Committee). It
is responsible for the selection and training of the U.S. National Teams and
the U.S. Olympic Teams.
National Team Development Program
In 1996, USA Hockey launched the National Team Development Program
(USDP) designed to create a new standard for player development in the
United States. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the USDP provides a concentrated on and off-ice training environment for some of the premier
hockey players under 18-years of age in the U.S.
The USDP is split into two squads, an under-18 team and an under-17
team. Together, the teams take part in more than 120 games against
international, collegoiate and U.S. junior competition. A team made up of
players from both the U-18 and U-17 programs plays a full schedule of
games in the NAHL. (See junior hockey later in this section.)
The USDP captured the IIHF Under-18 World Championships in 2005
and 2006. Erik Johnson of the USDP U-18 team was drafted 1st overall in
the 2006. Jack Johnson was drafted 3rd overall in 2005.
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is the primary route
for a hockey prospect in the United States and is the governing body of
U.S. college athletics.
NCAA Division I hockey is divided into the following six leagues:
Atlantic Hockey (A.H.)

U.S. High Schools, Prep Schools
The popularity of high school and prep school hockey in the U.S. has
regularly attracted NHL scouts. Some of the leading high school programs
include those at Phillips-Exeter, St. Sebastian’s, Hotchkiss, Cushing
Academy, Culver Academy and Catholic Memorial.
U.S. High School Hockey Notes:
1980 - First U.S. High School Player to be Drafted

Hockey in Europe
Every European hockey league is governed by its respective national
federation. The clubs within these leagues are structured slightly different
from their North American counterparts. Most senior clubs have associated junior and youth teams, allowing young players to develop their skills
and remain with the same organization throughout their career.
Unlike North American junior leagues, there are no regulations restricting European junior players from being recalled and assigned to teams at
the various levels within a senior club's developmental system. Therefore,
it is common for a talented junior to play with the club's junior, Division II
and senior teams in a single season.
The natural progression in European hockey would see a player move
from youth hockey to the junior level, then to Division 2 and then graduate to the senior Elite team. Russia is the only major European hockey
nation without a separate junior league. Most Russian juniors play with
their club’s second team. These second teams compete in the Russian
third division.
It should be noted that some Division 2 and junior teams operate independently and without association with a senior club.
Europeans in the NHL Entry Draft
The National Hockey League has seen a dramatic increase of Europeantrained players over the past two decades. Of the 126 prospects selected
in the 1979 NHL Entry Draft, only six were Europeans (4.8%). In 1989,
that number grew to 38 of 252 selections (15.1%). The 2000 NHL Entry
Draft featured the largest European contingent in the history of the event
as 123 players of the 293 drafted were European-born, representing 42%
of the Draft.

Breaking New Ground – European Firsts
1969 – First European Draft Pick The first European-trained player to be
selected in the NHL Entry Draft was Finnish-born left winger Tommi
Salmelainen, 66th overall, by the St. Louis Blues.
1974 – First Swedish Selection Swedish-born center Per Alexandersson
was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs, 49th overall, becoming the first
Swedish player to be drafted into the NHL. There were five Swedish-born
players selected in 1974, including defenseman Stefan Persson (214th
overall, NY Islanders). Persson became the first European player to have
his name engraved on the Stanley Cup (four times, 1980-83).
1975 – First Russian Draft Pick The Philadelphia Flyers became the first
NHL club to select a Russian player, picking center Viktor Khatulev, 160th
overall.
1976 – First European Taken in the First Round The 1976 Draft saw the
first European selected in the first round when the California Seals made
Swedish defenseman Bjorn Johansson their first pick, fifth overall.
Although he only played 15 games in the NHL, Johansson remained the
highest European draft pick until 1989 (Mats Sundin, first overall).
1976 – First Swiss Player Selected Although Switzerland is just beginning
to have an impact in international hockey, the country made its first
inroads to the NHL in 1976 when the St. Louis Blues selected Swiss center Jacques Soguel, 121st overall.
1978 – First Czechoslovak in the Entry Draft The Detroit Red Wings made
the first selection from the former Czechoslovakia, drafting left wing
Ladislav Svozil, 194th overall.
1978 – First German Pick The first German players were also drafted into
the NHL in 1978, with the Atlanta Flames' selection of goaltender Bernard
Englbrecht, 196th overall, and St. Louis' choice of forward Gerd
Truntschka, 200th overall.
Other European Draft Notes
• Sergei Priakin, the first Russian to play with permission in the NHL, was
the last player drafted in 1988 —252nd overall—by Calgary.
• Viacheslav Fetisov was first selected by the Montreal Canadiens, 201st
overall, in the 1978 NHL Entry Draft. Five years later, Fetisov was drafted again, this time by the New Jersey Devils (150th overall in 1983). He
didn't play his first NHL season until 1989-90.
• Soviet goaltender Vladislav Tretiak, renowned for his performance in
the 1972 Summit Series and the 1981 Canada Cup, was drafted by the
Montreal Canadiens in 1983 (138th overall). Tretiak never appeared in
an NHL game. He became the first Russian to be inducted into the Hall
of Fame in 1989.
• Czech-born center Petr Nedved defected to Canada as a 16-year-old
while playing in a Calgary midget tournament in 1988. He played one
season with the Seattle Thunderbirds of the WHL prior to being selected second overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1990 NHL Entry
Draft. Nedved became the first European player to be drafted from
Canadian major junior hockey.
• Anton Stastny was the only Stastny brother to be selected in an NHL
Draft, first in 1978 by Philadelphia (198th overall) and again in 1979 by
Quebec (83rd overall). Stastny entered the NHL for the 1980-81 season
with brother Peter and was later joined by brother Marian in 1981-82.
• The 2001 Entry Draft saw forward Ilya Kovalchuk become the first Russianborn player to be selected first overall. He was the first of 13 Europeans to
be picked in the first round, including five top ten selections.
• Finland’s Kari Lehtonen was selected 2nd overall in 2002, the highest
selection for a European goaltender.

NOTE: In 1992, the Canadian Hockey League (WHL, OHL and QMJHL)
introduced an Import Draft to allocate the services of European players. Consequently, Europeans who are drafted by NHL clubs while
playing for a CHL team are listed as being drafted from their respective CHL leagues, not as international players. The same policy applies
to European players who may be drafted while playing in any other
North American league.

2007 NHL Entry Draft Media Guide
NHL Draft History
The 2007 NHL Entry Draft, held on June 22 and 23 in Columbus,
is the 44th anniversary of an event that has grown from a small
gathering of hockey executives to a spectacle anticipated by hundreds of thousands of hockey fans throughout the world.
Inception of the Amateur Draft
In an effort to eliminate the sponsorship of amateur teams and
players by its member clubs, the National Hockey League began
developing a drafting system that would provide each team with
an equal opportunity to acquire amateur players.
"I'm trying to work out a system whereby all amateur players
who will attain their 17th birthdays before August of each year
will be available for drafting by NHL teams in the reverse order of
the standing," said NHL President Clarence Campbell during the
1962-63 season. "We're ultimately hopeful it will produce a uniform opportunity for each team to acquire a star player."
The end result was the establishment of the NHL’s Amateur
Draft.
The first NHL Amateur Draft was held at the Queen Elizabeth
Hotel in Montreal on June 5, 1963. All amateur players, 17 years
of age and older who were not already sponsored by an NHL
club, were eligible to be drafted. Garry Monahan, a 17-year-old
center from the St. Michael's Juveniles of Toronto, was selected
first overall by the Montreal Canadiens.
The 1969 Draft marked the first year that the effects of NHL
amateur sponsorship would not be seen, as every junior of qualifying age (20-years) was available for selection. Eighty-four players were selected that year, more than four times the average
number of players chosen in the first six years of the Draft.
Entry Draft Replaces the Amateur Draft
In 1979, the name of the Draft was changed from “Amateur”
to “Entry” to reflect the inclusion of young players eligible for
selection who had played professionally in the now-defunct
World Hockey Association.
Draft Eligibility
Beginning with the 1980 Entry Draft and continuing today, all
18-, 19- and 20-year old North American and non-North
American-born players have been eligible to be drafted. In addition, non-North American players aged 21-years or older are eligible for claim. From 1987 to 1991, the selection of 18- and 19year-old players was restricted to the first three rounds of the
draft, unless the player met qualifying criteria that dealt with
hockey experience in major junior, U.S. college and high school or
European hockey. Starting with the 1992 Draft, those players
were available in all rounds.

Items of Interest
• Teammates Rejean Houle and Marc Tardif were chosen 1-2 by
Montreal in the 1969 Draft. The Canadiens were granted this opportunity under a special rule which allowed the club to select the first
two French-Canadian players. It was the last time Montreal was
allowed to do so.
• Montreal also had the first three picks in 1968, drafting Michel Plasse,
Robert Belisle and Jim Pritchard.
• In 1971, French Canadians were chosen with the first three draft
selections: Guy Lafleur (Montreal), Marcel Dionne (Detroit) and
Jocelyn Guevremont (Vancouver).
• Three teams accounted for seven of the top-ten picks in the 1999
Entry Draft. Vancouver selected Daniel Sedin (2nd) and Hentik Sedin
(3rd); NY Rangers selected Pavel Brendl (4th) and Jamie Lundmark
(9th); NY Islanders – with three top-ten picks – selected Tim Connolly
5th, Taylor Pyatt (8th) and Branislav Mezei 10th
• For the first time in draft history, one club had three picks in the top
half of the first round. Buffalo drafted Tom Barrasso (5th), Normand
Lacombe (10th) and Adam Creighton (11th) in 1983.

Amateur Drafts Prior to 1969
In 1963, the NHL began phasing out the member clubs' sponsorship
of junior teams and amateur players. From 1963 to 1968, the NHL
conducted an annual Amateur Draft, allowing for the selection of
those junior players who did not already appear on an NHL club's
sponsored list.
Following are the NHL Amateur Drafts from 1963 to 1968:
