1990 NHL entry draft

File:BCPLACESTADIUM.jpg

BC Place was the venue for the 1990 NHL entry draft

The 1990 NHL entry draft was the 28th NHL entry draft. It was hosted by the Vancouver Canucks at BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, on June 16, 1990. It is remembered as one of the deeper drafts in NHL history, with fourteen of the twenty-one first round picks going on to careers of at least 500 NHL games.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Nine of the twenty-one players drafted in the first round played 1,000 NHL games in their career.

The last active player in the NHL from this draft class was Jaromir Jagr, who played his last NHL game in the 2017–18 season. As of 2025, Jagr is still an active player with Rytiri Kladno of the ELH.

Venue

The Pacific Coliseum was the originally intended venue for the Draft

The 1990 NHL entry draft was originally scheduled to be held at the Pacific Coliseum, the home arena of the host Vancouver Canucks located on the site of the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE).<ref name="Coliseum">Template:Cite news</ref> However, the Canadian Union of Public Employees union representing the PNE employees—CUPE Local 1004—threatened to strike June 15, one day before the draft.<ref name="Coliseum"/><ref name="strike">Template:Cite news</ref> Consequently, the NHL and the Canucks decided to move the draft to BC Place in order to avoid the potential strike and issues of public access to the venue.<ref name="draftmove">Template:Cite news</ref> In addition to BC Place, the University of British Columbia, the Vancouver Convention Centre and the Hyatt Regency Vancouver were also considered as replacement venues.<ref name="draftmove"/>

The Canucks had estimated that 10,000 spectators would attend the draft, which had free admission.<ref name="draftmove"/> However, holding the venue in a higher capacity venue allowed for that estimate to nearly double, with 19,127 spectators—a then record for attendance at an NHL entry draft—attending the draft.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Jaromir Jagr was the top-ranked European skater by the NHL Central Scouting

Heading into the 1990 NHL entry draft, Mike Ricci had spent the entire 1989–90 season ranked as the top prospect by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau.<ref name="zurkowski">Template:Cite news</ref> Before the release of the final rankings of North American skaters and goaltenders, it was speculated Owen Nolan, Keith Primeau and Petr Nedved would surpass Ricci; however, when the final rankings were released, Ricci remained as the top prospect.<ref name="zurkowski"/><ref name="CentralScouting">Template:Cite news</ref> Jaromir Jagr was also considered to be one of the top prospects, but Central Scouting did not rank European players.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Petr Nedved was an exception to that, as he played in North America after he defected his native Czechoslovakia.
