List of undrafted NHL players with 100 games played
Remove ads

This is a list of National Hockey League (NHL) players who went undrafted in the NHL entry draft (i.e. they were draft eligible but were not selected during the course of the draft and later signed with NHL teams as an undrafted free agent) and played in at least 100 NHL regular season games. Players whose professional careers began before the 1969–70 season who were not drafted are not considered to be undrafted for purposes of this article, owing to NHL sponsorship of major junior hockey existing prior to that season.[1]

Thumb
Martin St. Louis is among the most accomplished NHL players who were not drafted.

Also not included in this list is Wayne Gretzky, who was one of the Edmonton Oilers priority selections when they entered the NHL in 1979 and thus was never eligible to be drafted by an NHL team.[2] Under existing rules he would have been removed from the Oilers and placed into the NHL Entry Draft since no team held his NHL rights, but the Oilers were allowed to keep Gretzky as one of their priority selections and were forced to choose last in each round of the 1979 NHL entry draft as further compensation.[3]

Notes

  1. Beginning in the 2005–06 season, ties are no longer possible. At the same time, the league began tracking overtime losses for goaltenders.[4]
  2. The seasons column lists the first year of the season of the player's first game and the last year of the season of the player's last game. For example, a player who played his first game during the 1994–95 season in January 1995 and his last game during the 2005–06 season in October 2005 would be listed as playing in the league from 1994–2006.
