1983 NHL Entry Draft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1983 NHL Entry Draft was held at the Montreal Forum in Montreal, Quebec on 8 June 1983. The NHL Entry Draft is the primary means by which players arrive in the National Hockey League. The St. Louis Blues chose not to participate in this draft, shortly after the league blocked the franchise's relocation to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. This was the first and only time in National Hockey League history that a franchise did not participate in an entry draft.
