Here is how it works.

The year you turned 18, if your birthday was from January 1st to September 15th you would have been selected in that summer's entry draft.

If your birthday was from September 16th to December 31st, you would be selected in the following draft.

Habs took:

Hainsey, Hossa, Balej, among others.

Me too.. I'd have prefered to be born before september though... being drafted in 1999 I could have made it... although I never played in a hockey team :D

At my 'draft age', the draft age was 20. That makes it the 1970 draft year. That year is memorable for one of the most famous 'never made it' first picks. Here we go:

5 - G - Ray Martyniuk

6 - C - Chuck Lefley

31 - D - Steve Carlyle

45 - G - Cal Hammond

52 - L - John French

66 - D - Rick Wilson

80 - D - Robert Brown

93 - R - Bob Fowler

105 - D - Ric Jordan

As some of you will know, Ray Martyniuk never made the NHL, nevermind the team. He did play till 1979 but only in the minors. The highest he got was the AHL and IHL.

Chuck Lefley made the team (4 years) , Rick Wilson (part of 1 year), Steve Carlyle and Ric Jordan both did stints in the WHA. The others... nada.

By the way, that's the same year that Gilbert Perreault, Dale Tallon, Reggie Leach, Rick MacLeish, Darryl Sittler, Billy Smith, Ron Low among others were drafted.

Interestingly, Detroit chose, at the 40th pick, a left-winger called YVON LAMBERT. He was a strong part of the late-70's Canadiens dynasty. Still see him on interviews on RDS, TVA or Radio Canada.

I never made it past minor bantams (house leagues). A guy boarded me and I couldn't understand why. My dad said that that was part of the game. I didn't stay with it much longer... chicken poop. :lol:

Hey, Peter Popovic made the team (4 years) as did Sean Hill who became a top-four defenseman for the Whalers/Hurricanes and Florida. He's a big one that got away.

Sometimes I wonder 'what if...' Montreal had kept Tomas Vokoun instead of or along with Théodore. Vokoun is a REALLY BIG one that got away.

You forgot John LeClair. Also Ed Ronan played for Montreal for several years (part seasons).

Patrick Lebeau... tore up the Q, got drafted by Montreal, spent the summer playing street hockey, not getting in shape for the training camp, came in overweight and faded away.

I had high hopes for him too. Oh well...
