The 1991 NHL Entry Draft took place on June 22, 1991 at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo , New York . In the 29th edition of the NHL Entry Draft , the teams of the National Hockey League (NHL) selected a total of 264 players in twelve rounds. The Canadian center Eric Lindros of the Nordiques de Québec was selected as the first overall draft pick . Pat Falloon for the San Jose Sharks and Scott Niedermayer for the New Jersey Devils followed in second and third . The order of the draft resulted from the reversed final table of the past season 1990/91 , with the playoff teams after the teams that had missed the playoffs were in turn. The San Jose Sharks, who were newly admitted to the league, received the second right to vote and the first in all subsequent rounds.
The Entry Draft 1991 was mainly remembered by the controversy over the overall first Eric Lindros, who indicated even before his expected election by the Nordiques de Québec that he did not want to play for the French-Canadian team. After a year, the Nordiques finally handed him over to the Philadelphia Flyers and received Peter Forsberg, who was also selected in 1991, in one of the most spectacular transfers in NHL history . This was to win two Stanley Cups in the coming years with the franchise , which moved to Colorado a little later . In addition, Lindros, Forsberg and Scott Niedermayer are the players of this year who have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame so far . Other notable actors in the 1991 Entry Draft include Brian Rolston , Alexei Kowaljow , Markus Näslund , Glen Murray , Ray Whitney , Žigmund Pálffy , Sandis Ozoliņš , Jozef Stümpel , Chris Osgood , Michael Nylander and Alexei Schitnik .
