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: YEAR WINNER EFFECT ON DRAFT ORDER PLAYER SELECTED 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Los Angeles Ottawa Boston Tampa Bay Chicago NY Islanders Atlanta Florida Florida Washington Pittsburgh St. Louis Chicago From 7th to 3rd overall Retained 1st overall Retained 1st overall From 3rd to 1st via two trades From 8th to 4th overall From 5th to 1st overall From 3rd to 1st overall From 3rd to 1st overall From 4th to 1st overall From 3rd to 1st overall n/a Retained 1st overall From 5th to 1st overall Aki Berg Chris Phillips Joe Thornton Vincent Lecavalier Pavel Brendl* Rick DiPietro Ilya Kovalchuk Rick Nash** Marc-Andre Fleury*** Alexander Ovechkin Sidney Crosby Erik Johnson ........ * NY Rangers obtained Chicago’s pick via trade (via Vancouver and Tampa Bay).

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. Draft 07 Pages v4 5/7/07 4:55 PM Page 109 Hockey in Canada • •109 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. Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Barrie London Plymouth Belleville Mississauga Saginaw Brampton Oshawa Sarnia Erie Ottawa Sault Ste. Marie Guelph Owen Sound Sudbury Kingston Peterborough Toronto-St. Michael’s Kitchener Windsor 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. Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) Acadie-Bathurst Baie-Comeau Cape Breton Chicoutimi Drummondville Gatineau Halifax Lewiston Moncton PEI Quebec Rimouski Rouyn-Noranda Saint John St. John’s Shawinigan Val d’Or Victoriaville 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. Western Hockey League (WHL) Brandon Calgary Chilliwack Everett Kamloops Kelowna Kootenay Lethbridge Medicine Hat Moose Jaw Portland Prince Albert Prince George Red Deer Regina Saskatoon Seattle Spokane Swift Current Tri-City Vancouver 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.)

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.

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.

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. 10.7 11.3 11.1 7.2 8.3 10.1 5.5 2.2 2.7 6.8 0.8 4.8 8.1 7.1 15.3 14.4 12.3 16.7 7.9 9.9 7.9 6.4 8.0 8.3 10.8 11.5 6.0 6.6 7.7 5.4 7.7 9.2 9.0 11.0 14.7 15.1 17.4 16.4 9.6 Draft 07 Pages v4 134 • 5/7/07 4:55 PM Page 134 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.

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.
