Talk:2010 NHL entry draft

Explanation for removal of template "Dated prod"
Significant information for a Entry Draft is, besides its date, location and eligible prospects, the distribution of draft picks among the teams. Unfortunately, general managers start trading future draft choices some 24 months before the event starts. If the information would be collected on the existing transaction articles only, they would probably be difficult to find because the transactions are sorted by date, not by team or round. Hence it is appropriate to collect this information on the respective draft page in an easy accessible and informative manner, as executed for, e.g., 2009.

The missing information on location and exact time, as well as an official list of prospects of a major scouting source, will of course be included as soon as this information is available. Hockey-holic (talk) 16:25, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Draft order of playoff teams
Just a reminder:

30: Champ. 29: Runnerup. 27-28: Conference Final losers. ?-26: Division champs that didn't make it past round 2. 15-: other playoff teams that didn't make it past round 2.

Its after round 2 that things really become clear. If the Habs lose to the Caps, then they get pick 15. ccwaters (talk) 16:20, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * The only pick decided after round 1 will be either Montreal at 15 or Washington at 26, dependent on their game 7 on Wednesday. ccwaters (talk) 13:55, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Just a few scenarios for the outcome of DET/SJS. 15-20 will require results from PIT/MTL. One95 (talk) 08:09, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Yep. I would just leave the "Loser of CHI/VAN" picks blank in the article until that's decided. ccwaters (talk) 12:50, 6 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed. One95 (talk) 18:08, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Final scenarios based on PIT/MTL series. Loser of CHI/VAN is 25th. One95 (talk) 08:21, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Jurcina conditions
Can anyone find a reliable source regarding Milan Jurcina's conditional trade. I see lots of blog post refering to him having to play at least 5-6 games with the Caps post trade, but nothing in papers, etc. FYI: he didn't play a single game for the caps after the trade. ccwaters (talk) 14:32, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Infobox error?
In the infobox, there's no link to the 2011 draft, even though the link to the 2009 draft shows up. I've been trying to find the error, but I'm positively baffled. Help? Schmloof (talk) 06:29, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Got it, not sure if I did it correctly but it's working. Although I think with the way the template was coded it made it so in the currentyear it doesn't show next year's link. So probably on January 1st, 2011 it would show up automatically. One95 (talk) 18:47, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Displays fine for me now, thanks! Schmloof (talk) 23:55, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Semi-reliable reference on Pronger conditional
Here's a link from a newspapers blog detailing the Pronger pick if the Flyers win the cup.. Yeah, its a blog, but a newspapers blog. ccwaters (talk) 13:43, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hm, sounds a little confusing to me. It is not clear (at least to me) if the conditional third-rounder from the Pronger trade (currently belonging to Philadelphia) or a third-round selection of the Ducks would go to Montreal. Guess we will have to wait for the official draft order (which featured trade info for conditional picks in the past, if I remember correctly) to ressolve this... --Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 15:01, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, and that Chipchura Montreal trade thing is news to me too. ccwaters (talk) 15:03, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Friendly advise
Whoever's adding the new names, please cut down on the capital lettering. GoodDay (talk) 18:47, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Complete list of Day 2 trades...
...in order to track down traded picks can be found at http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=532973. I have also added them to 2010–11 NHL transactions. --Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 22:29, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Teigan Zahn: Drafted twice?
I was looking at his profile on hockeydb.com, and checked it here on Wikipedia, and it appears that Teigan Zahn (pick #186, Tampa Bay) was also drafted in 2008 by the Chicago Blackhawks (pick #132). How is this possible? How can someone be drafted twice? Did one of those get nullified? That might be something to footnote if we find an answer.

 * Drafting teams retain a player's rights for two years. If they can't sign the player in that time, they return to the draft (in most cases).  Jarret Stoll and Matthew Lombardi are two other examples of this - they were drafted by Calgary and Edmonton respectively in 2000, went unsigned, returned to the 2002 draft and were selected by Edmonton and Calgary respectively that year.

 * If you combine AHL and DEL totals (including playoffs) he’s at 218 games played. --75.88.89.194 (talk) 12:16, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * You are right. Totally forgot to combine the two. -DJSasso (talk) 15:12, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
