The 1992 NHL Expansion Draft was hosted on June 18, 1992 by the North American ice hockey league NHL . The Expansion Draft took place because the NHL was expanded by two teams and the roster of the Ottawa Senators and Tampa Bay Lightning teams had to be filled with players.
regulate
21 of the 22 NHL teams had the right to ban two goalkeepers and 14 outfield players from their roster so that they were not available in the expansion draft. However, each team was required to provide at least one goalkeeper who had played at least one game in the 1991/92 season . This clause caused several transfers as no team wanted to release one of their two goalkeepers and tricks were used to fulfill this clause. So it happened that Ray LeBlanc played his only game in his career in the NHL for the Chicago Blackhawks , so that Chicago could keep its first two goalkeepers Dominik Hašek and Jimmy Waite .
The San Jose Sharks banned all players because they had only joined the NHL the year before.
A total of 42 players could be selected, but each existing team could only lose two players. Tampa Bay and Ottawa had to pick two goalkeepers, seven defenders and twelve attackers.
