entry age requirements[edit]

The comment that the draft age was dropped to '18' appears to be untrue. Only one player was drafted that did not turn 19 in the draft year and that was Mark Messier. Seems very unlikely that no teams took advantage of 18 year olds except for one player but a good source on this would be helpful.18abruce (talk) 12:56, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
