The 1984 NHL Entry Draft took place on June 9, 1984 at the Forum in Montreal, Quebec .
Trivia [ ]
The 1984 Entry Draft was noted for the unusually high number of future Hall of Famers picked, particularly in lower rounds. In addition to Mario Lemieux being taken first overall, Patrick Roy was chosen in the third round, Brett Hull in the sixth, and both Luc Robitaille and Gary Suter were chosen in the ninth round. In addition, Lemieux, Suter, and Robitaille would all go on to win the Calder Trophy , making this a rare draft in which multiple Rookie of the Year winners were produced. Also of note is that Tom Glavine , who later became a star Major League Baseball pitcher and a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame (elected in 2014), was chosen in the fourth round (69th overall) by the Los Angeles Kings, ahead of notable players such as future Hall of Famer Brett Hull (117th overall), and Luc Robitaille (171st overall).
The surprise at the time of the draft was Montreal's selection of Petr Svoboda at fifth overall. Very few people expected him to be available for selection. The shock was compounded when, after his name was announced, it was revealed that he was even attending the draft.

Invalid claims [ ]
The Buffalo Sabres called the name of Eric Weinrich with the 186th pick. Weinrich, however, was born later than the cutoff date of September 15, 1966 and was therefore ineligible for the 1984 draft.
The Philadelphia Flyers called Petr Rucka with the 225th pick. Rucka had already been chosen by Calgary with the 200th pick, rendering the Flyers' claim invalid.
