NHL Entry Draft

The 1985 NHL Entry Draft took place on 15 June 1985 at the Metro Toronto Convention Center in Toronto in the Canadian province of Ontario instead. In the 23rd edition of the NHL Entry Draft , the teams of the National Hockey League (NHL) selected a total of 252 players in twelve rounds. The Canadian winger Wendel Clark was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs as the first overall draft pick . Craig Simpson for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Craig Wolanin for the New Jersey Devils followed in second and third place . The order of the draft resulted from the reversed final table of the past season 1984/85 , with the playoff teams after the teams that had missed the playoffs were in turn.
For the first time in its history, the draft did not take place in Montréal , but began to rotate in regular alternation between other NHL cities in 1985. At the same time, the trend of previous years to sign more European players did not continue; instead, the number of Europeans signed up in the draft fell by almost 25%.
In addition, the year 1985 is considered to be a comparatively weak year, so only Joe Nieuwendyk achieved the mark of 1000 scorer points , while he - along with Igor Larionow - is one of only two Hall of Fame members so far. Notable players include Ulf Dahlén , Derek King , Calle Johansson , Eric Weinrich , Fredrik Olausson and Kelly Buchberger as well as goalkeepers Sean Burke , Mike Richter and Bill Ranford .
