NHL Entry Draft  <1998 2000>

The 1999 NHL Entry Draft took place on June 26, 1999 at the FleetCenter in Boston , Massachusetts . In the 37th edition of the NHL Entry Draft , the teams of the National Hockey League (NHL) selected a total of 272 players in nine rounds. The Czech center Patrik Štefan was chosen as the first overall draft pick by the Atlanta Thrashers . The Swedish twin brothers Daniel and Henrik Sedin for the Vancouver Canucks followed in second and third . For the first time in the history of the draft, no Canadian was among the top three elected, which was not repeated until 2018 .

Patrik Štefan should become one of the most disappointing overall firsts in the history of the NHL Entry Draft, while the year as a whole is considered one of the weakest in league history. In addition to the Sedin twins, who were the only ones to reach 1000 scorer points , the well-known players in the more European draft of 1999 include Barret Jackman , Martin Havlát , Mike Comrie , Ryan Miller , Martin Erat , Henrik Zetterberg and Radim Vrbata . No actor has yet been considered in the Hockey Hall of Fame . In addition, the 272 picks included 20 additional voting rights, which were given under the Collective Bargaining Agreement to those teams who had lost certain players via the Free Agency in the summer of 1998 or who were unable to agree on a contract with previous first-round draft picks.

Draft order

lottery

No. team chance 1. Tampa Bay Lightning 26.0% 2. Atlanta Thrashers 16.9% 2. Vancouver Canucks 16.9% 4th New York Islanders 10.8% 5. Nashville Predators 8.3% 6th Washington Capitals 6.4%

No. team chance 7th Los Angeles Kings 4.8% 8th. Chicago Blackhawks 3.7% 9. Calgary Flames 2.7% 10. Canadiens de Montréal 1.9% 11. New York Rangers 1.1% 12. Florida panthers 0.5%

The modalities of the 1995 draft lottery had to be changed again because the Atlanta Thrashers were newly admitted to the league. The Thrashers got the same chance with 16.9% as the second worst team of the past 1998/99 season and voted in second position in all further rounds. The chances of all other teams that had missed the playoffs were therefore slightly reduced. The lottery was subsequently won by the Chicago Blackhawks , who rose four positions from eighth to four. However, they did not retain their right to vote, as the Vancouver Canucks carried out a series of barter deals to secure the rights to both Sedin twins. The rest of the draft order corresponded to the reversed final table of the past season, unaffected by success in the playoffs.
