Do you not have to actually "enter" the draft, kinda like a registration? If so, if the kid then removed his name from the draft, how did that Habs draft him?
I might be wrong on this, but I've always thought that in hockey, you don't actually have to declare for the draft. You're just automatically eligible when you turn 18 before September 15 or something like that.

In other leagues like the NBA or the NFL, you actually have to declare. Not in the NHL.
