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 higher 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 , 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 (94th 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.
