1999 NHL entry draft: Difference between revisions

The overall impact in the NHL of players selected has not matched that of the neighboring drafts. An example is how many first round picks have played the equivalent of an entire regular season ten seasons after the 1999 draft; only 16 out of 28 first round picks in 1999 have played 82 NHL games, while the same statistic applies to 23 out of 27 players in 1998 and 21 out of 30 players in 2000. In addition, while the Sedin twins have excelled in the NHL, only [[Barret Jackman]] and [[Martin Havlát|Martin Havlat]] were still active players of the other 26 first-round picks in the NHL 15 years after the draft.
