I think it's like the NFL, where the submission of the pick stops the clock.
edit : now I searched a couple of places saying that the clock is metaphysical. Either way, the name is submitted.
double edit : four different sites say four different things. I don't think that the NHL cares.
triple edit : the only one that was specific said 3 minutes, with 5 timeouts, and announcements don't count against it. So literally as much time as you want. No word on how the names are received by the league. Carrier pigeon?
