Answer: Hartford Whalers

Hartford made the swap with San Jose, who picked Viktor Kozlov with the #6 overall pick. The #2 pick turned out to be defenceman Chris Pronger, who later blossomed in St. Louis, after Hartford swapped him for Brendan Shanahan.

Answer: Jay McKee

Jay McKee has been a steady force on the Sabres' blueline since 1997. Biron was the Sabres own pick, #16 overall, Primeau was their first pick (#17) in 1994, and Rasmussen was Buffalo's first round selection in 1996 (#7).

Answer: David Legwand and Brad Stuart

After three disappointing seasons, Legwand had a breakout season for Nashville in 2002-03. The slick center had 17 goals and 31 assists in 64 games for the Preds. Brad Stuart started his career well in San Jose, scoring 10 goals and 26 assists in '99-00 and making the all-rookie team.

The big defenceman's play suffered over the next three seasons, capped by a 14 point, injury-plagued, contract holdout '02-03 campaign.

Answer: Scott Gomez

Gomez recorded 70 points for New Jersey as a rookie in '99-00, and won the Calder Trophy as NHL rookie of the year. He has been an integral part of two Devil Cup-winning teams in 2000 and 2003. Dallas picked John Erskine and Tyler Bouck with the two picks. Brian Gionta was picked in the 4th round, 82nd overall. Petr Sykora was the Devils' 1st pick in 1995, Colin White was picked in the second round, 49th overall, in 1996.

6. Edmonton traded Craig Millar to Nashville on draft day in 1999, and they received Detroit's third round pick, 91st overall. Who did they pick?

Answer: Mike Comrie

Comrie was a vital cog for the Oilers right from his arrival in 2001. By 2002, Comrie was the Oilers' first line centre and recorded 33 goals and 27 assists in 82 games. Semenov was the Oilers' 2nd round pick, 36th overall. Horcoff was their fourth round pick, 99th overall in 1998. Poti was their 3rd round pick, 59th overall, in 1996.

7. What team swapped first round picks with Florida in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft?

Answer: Columbus

Columbus moved up from 3rd overall to be sure to get Rick Nash. Florida picked Jay Bouwmeester at #3, and received a conditional pick in 2003 from Columbus in return for the swap.

8. What team did Toronto acquire the pick from that they used to select Nikolai Antropov in the 1998 draft?

Answer: Chicago Blackhawks

Toronto traded their first round pick (8th overall) and fifth round pick to the Blackhawks, for Chicago's first pick (10th overall), a 3rd round pick, and Carolina's 5th round pick. The Blackhawks used the Leafs' pick to select Mark Bell.

9. What team did Atlanta trade with to acquire the first pick in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft?

Answer: Vancouver

Atlanta traded the #2 pick and a second round pick to Vancouver, for the #1 pick overall. Vancouver picked Henrik Sedin, and Atlanta picked Patrik Stefan. The #1 pick originally belonged to Tampa Bay, but they swapped it to Vancouver earlier for Chicago's #1 pick plus two third rounders.

Answer: Darius Kasparaitus

The Isles picked Kasparaitus, who had a great career with them before being shipped to Pittsburgh. Bertuzzi was the Isles' first pick in 1993. They picked Palffy in 1991, 26th overall. The Isles picked Malakhov 191st overall in the 1989 draft.

The Leafs picked Brandon Convery with the #8 pick, then shipped the second round pick plus their 3rd rounder to Washington for Washington's first pick. The Leafs picked Grant Marshall with the first rounder, the Capitals spent the 2nd rounder on goalie Jim Carey, who won the Vezina trophy in 1998.
