The NHL Entry Draft is an annual meeting in which every franchise of the National Hockey League (NHL) systematically select the rights to available ice hockey players who meet draft eligibility requirements. The NHL Entry Draft is held once every year, generally within two to three months after the conclusion of the previous regular season. During the draft, teams take turns selecting amateur players from junior or collegiate leagues and professional players from European leagues.
The 1993 NHL supplemental draft was the eighth NHL supplemental draft. It was held on June 25, 1993. It was limited to the eight teams that missed the 1993 Stanley Cup playoffs and the expansion Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and Florida Panthers.
The NHL supplemental draft was a draft that was established by the National Hockey League as an offshoot of the NHL Entry Draft between 1986 and 1994. The Supplemental Draft was used by teams to select collegiate ice hockey players who were not eligible for the standard entry draft. It was created in response to the bidding wars between NHL teams to sign college hockey stars like Adam Oates and Ray Staszak, both of whom signed multi-year contracts with the Detroit Red Wings worth over one million dollars in 1985. The first draft was held on September 17, 1986, a month after the NHL Players' Association approved a new contract with the league allowing the owners to hold a two-round supplemental draft before the entry draft. In 1992, the supplemental draft was scaled back to a single round and limited to non-playoff teams from the previous season and first-year expansion teams. The supplemental draft was discontinued by the 1995 collective bargaining agreement.
The 1992 NHL supplemental draft was the seventh NHL supplemental draft. It was held on June 19, 1992. The supplemental draft was shortened to a single round in 1992 and limited to the six teams that missed the 1992 Stanley Cup playoffs and the expansion Ottawa Senators and Tampa Bay Lightning.
The 1991 NHL supplemental draft was the sixth NHL supplemental draft. It was held on June 21, 1991.
The 1990 NHL supplemental draft was the fifth NHL supplemental draft. It was held on June 15, 1990.
The 1989 NHL supplemental draft was the fourth NHL supplemental draft. It was held on June 16, 1989.
The 1988 NHL supplemental draft was the third NHL supplemental draft. It was held on June 10, 1988.
