1994 Entry draft

[moto67e]

The Kings selected Jamie Storr with the #7 overall pick, but look at what was available in the 9th round:

Num. Drafted By Player Pos Drafted From GP G A Pts PIM

217 Quebec Tim Thomas G U. of Vermont [NCAA] 165 0 1 1

218 Philadelphia Johan Hedberg G Leksands IF [SEL] 213 0 7

219 San Jose Evgeni Nabokov G Kamenogorsk (Russia) 430 1 8

221 Vancouver Bill Muckalt R Kelowna Spartans [BCJHL] 256 40

226 Mtl. Canadiens Tomas Vokoun G Poldi Kladno (Czech.) 453 0 15

229 Boston John Grahame G Sioux City Musketeers [USHL] 224 0 9


233 New Jersey Steve Sullivan C Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds [OHL]

Not to mention that Marty Turco was taken in the 6th round with the 124th overall pick.

That is a pretty crazy ninth round.

WOW, we missed out on Bill Muckalt! What were we thinking back then?!?!?!?!

Wouldn't have mattered. The Kings would have still screwed any one of them up by rushing them into the NHL.

It's definitely crazy to look back at the list from every year and see who were good, not so good, superstar, failure... and the like.

Goes to show you that scouting and all that isn't exactly "accurate". You never really know anyone's true potential or what they could develop to. That makes the draft really fun... for the most part.
