I don't follow hockey so bear with me, as I watch mostly NBA. Do players have to declare for the NHL draft or can teams just draft any player that is "eligible" (e.g. if Pavel Bure was not eligible, how did he get entry to the draft?) In the NBA, players who are draft-eligible must declare themselves to be part of the draft in order to be drafted by teams...
