What about that seasons Entry Draft? Earl Andrew 03:17, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

A good question. I don't know the answer to that. Would 1989-90 NHL season link to 1989 NHL Entry Draft or to 1990 NHL Entry Draft? Kevin Rector 13:56, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)

It's a matter of debate - the start of the article is where you are supposed to list the wheelings and dealings of the previous off-season (and the entry draft is technically the off-season), so it might make sense to put a link to the 1989 NHL Entry Draft from 1989-90 NHL season (plus, we do have opportunities to showcase some of the rookies). IMO, this position works for me. However, one can argue that since the 1989 draft occured closer to the end of the 1988-89 NHL season than the start of the 1989-90 one, you put a link to the latter. In the spirit of all that is wiki, why not both? kelvSYC 14:38, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

"Why not both" seems awful reasonable to me! Kevin Rector 21:32, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)

A year since this was last talked about, I added links to the draft years to all the relevant pages. for the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, I added a link to the 1998-99 NHL season. Masterhatch 14:53, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
