1996 NHL Entry Draft
Encyclopedia : 1 : 19 : 199 : 1996 NHL Entry Draft
The 1996 NHL Entry Draft was held at the Kiel Arena (now called the Savvis Center) in St. Louis, Missouri on 22 June 1996. It has gone down in NHL history as perhaps the weakest draft class in league history, as few players selected have become impact players in the NHL.
