1991 NHL Entry Draft

The 1991 NHL Entry Draft was held on June 22, 1991 at the Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo, New York. A total of 264 players were drafted.

The draft was famous for the controversy surrounding star first overall draft pick, touted by some observers to be The Next One, Eric Lindros who was drafted by the Quebec Nordiques, but he immediately refused to sign a contract.

What followed was one of the biggest trades in NHL history which the Philadelphia Flyers used to acquire Lindros in the process trading away future superstar Peter Forsberg.
