title: NHL Amateur Draft 1973
text: # NHL Amateur Draft 1973
  
  L'NHL Amateur Draft 1973 è stato l'11º draft della National Hockey League. Si è tenuto il 15 maggio 1973 presso il Mount Royal Hotel di Montréal.
  
  L'undicesimo draft della National Hockey League fu il primo a svolgersi in un giorno apposito, il 15 maggio 1973 presso il Mount Royal Hotel di Montréal, separato dalle altre riunioni concernenti gli affari della lega. Precedentemente gli Amateur Draft venivano svolti nella metà di giugno e avevano luogo presso il Queen Elizabeth Hotel. Già nel 1972, con l'avvento della lega concorrente della World Hockey Association e con il pericolo di veder sottratti i migliori talenti delle leghe giovanili, molte squadre iniziarono a prestare sempre più attenzione alle attività del draft tralasciando le altre questioni amministrative; in risposta a ciò la NHL separò il Draft dagli altri eventi in programma, anticipando inoltre di quattro giorni il Draft della WHA.
  
  I New York Islanders selezionarono il difensore Denis Potvin dagli Ottawa 67's, gli Atlanta Flames invece come seconda scelta puntarono sul centro Tom Lysiak, proveniente dai Medicine Hat Tigers, mentre i Vancouver Canucks scelsero in terza posizione l'ala destra Dennis Ververgaert dei London Knights. Fra i 168 giocatori selezionati 103 erano attaccanti, 53 erano difensori mentre 12 erano portieri. Dei giocatori scelti 70 giocarono in NHL, 8 vinsero la Stanley Cup mentre 3 di loro entrarono a far parte della Hockey Hall of Fame.
