		Among one of the conflicts, and indeed, the one conflict that formed the NHL, was one of Edward J. Livingstone, owner of the Blueshirts.
		Although the league was struggling to stay in the business for its first decade, the NHL teams were very successful, winning the Stanley Cup seven out of its first nine years (with one in 1918 having been cancelled because of the Spanish Flu epidemic hitting Seattle).
		In 1926, the NHL was left without competing leagues to vie for the Stanley Cup, due to its higher player salaries that other leagues were unable to match.

	Scott Niedermayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scott was drafted in the first round of the 1991 NHL Entry Draft by New Jersey with the third overall selection from the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League (WHL), and was considered one of the most promising and offensively talented defencemen ever drafted out of the CHL.
		He routinely participates in the Fastest Skater competition at the NHL All-Star Game and is respected and recognized throughout the league for his incredible phyiscal conditioning and work ethic.
		In 2004, Niedermayer was rewarded for his excellent all-around performance, winning the James Norris Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to the best defenceman in the NHL at the culmination of the regular-season and playoffs.

		Eminger was the top-rated defenseman in the OHL and was thought to be one of the surest picks in the draft.
		During the second round of the Draft, it was announced that Washington had obtained center Petr Sykora from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a third round selection in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
		Sykora, 23, was originally drafted by the Red Wings with the 76th overall pick in 1997.

	Sporting News, The: First things first, DiPietro really could be the one - Rick DiPietro; NHL draft 2000
		The list is loaded with players who were big shots in junior hockey and good enough to be No. 1 picks in the NHL draft--only to become average pros: Billy Hams, Greg Joly, Rick Green, Doug Wickenheiser, Gord Kluzak, Brian Lawton, Joe Murphy, Alexandre Daigle, Ed Jovanovski, Chris Phillips, Patrik Stefan.
		These were all first picks in the annual draft of the world's top amateur players.
		For the rest, however, there seemingly has been a curse on the first overall pick, on the player deemed to be the best amateur player of that year.

		Barron should still be the first lineman off the board, but the big question is when will he go.
		Jones was the sixth pick in the 1997 draft, while Thomas went 11th in 1998.
		Overall, there is depth at a lot of postions.

		Overall grade: B- I like Marlin Jackson, but the rest of their draft has some chancy players who must come through for this to be a good draft.
		Overall grade: B They needed help in the worst way on the offensive line, and they got two in the first three rounds and three altogether.
		Overall grade: A The new 49ers brass did a heck of a job for their first draft.

	Russians, Europeans take stage at NHL entry draft (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Never in NHL history have Russians and Europeans outnumbered young players from Canada and the United States among the first 20 players picked in a draft, but it may very well happen this time.
		Once an 18-year-old is drafted from a Russian or European team, if he isn't signed to a contract by the NHL club that chose him and remains playing in Russia or Europe, he's stuck.
		New Jersey's Scott Gomez was the first Hispanic player ever drafted in the first round, chosen 27th overall by the Devils in 1998.

	Rumors aside, Bengals trade a long shot
		The reasoning behind the rumor is that the Texans want to draft wide receiver Charles Rogers (Michigan State) and don't want to lose him to Detroit, which has the second overall pick.
		But the last No. 1 pick spent on a cornerback came in 1956, when Pittsburgh took Gary Glick from Colorado A&M. Quarterbacks have gone No. 1 overall in four of the past five drafts and nine of the past 20.
		The first overall is just one of nine picks the Bengals have in the draft.

		First, the Eagles administration is looking to make Jon Runyan their possible franchise player next year because they want Andrews to spend at least two years at right guard (that was the idea at first until he was on IR early last season).
		Now the other one of those picks that may not be traded will be used to select a tackle that will be reverted to a guard.
		Another side thought, the reason why i dont believe the eagles wont draft a runnin back is because Anthony Thomas is available, i good, productive work-horse back, but i do hope for Henry to come on down to phili.

		The answer was "neither." The Redskins passed on a chance to draft Jamir Miller, Willie McGinest, Bryant Young or Johnnie Morton.
		In the late '80s, fans were finally starting to realize how important the left tackle position is. A lot of that appreciation was spurned on by the hype surrounding Mandarich, a physical freak of nature who was supposed to become some lucky team's anchor for the next 10 years.
		In only the second draft in franchise history, the Bucs laid the foundation for years of failure by passing on Tony Dorsett and taking Bell.

		It is ironic then, that the figure that the league tried to exclude was, in the words of Canadiens owner George Kennedy, the figure that "made [the NHL] a real league".
		Although the league was struggling to stay in the business for its first decade, the NHL teams were very successful, winning the Stanley Cup seven out of its first nine years (with one having been cancelled because of the Spanish Flu epidemic hitting Seattle).

		A number of scouts said they were confident Hassell would stay in the draft, but he said that wasn't true and might be leaning toward returning to school.
		Having one significant performance against another potential first-round pick might be all it takes for Hunter to get picked either high in the second round or even late in the first by someone who wants a player with legitimate "upside," especially a center.

	Atlanta Thrashers Expansion Draft by Marc Ciampa [June 23 1999, Renaissance Online Magazine Sports]
		The expansion draft will be on June 25 and I thought I'd clear up some confusion for our readers as well as play General Manager as the Thrashers prep for the draft.
		Now that Atlanta has a list in their hands of all the players that they are able to pick, the league regulates how many players at each position they may draft.
		The key to success in today's NHL I believe starts at the blueline and if the Thrashers are going to work a guy like Golubovsky in they'll need players like the aforementioned Chambers and Galley to provide the veteran leadership.
