NHL Expansion and Dispersal Drafts
 < 1992 1998 > 

The 1993 NHL Expansion Draft was held on June 24, 1993, in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The draft took place to fill the rosters of the league's two expansion teams for the 1993–94 season, the Florida Panthers and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.

Rules

The 24 teams existing in the league at the time of the draft were each allowed to protect one goaltender, five defensemen and nine forwards. All first-year pros were exempt from claim, and all second-year pros on the reserve list were exempt from claim.

48 players were chosen in the draft, two from each franchise. Only one goaltender or one defensemen could be selected from each franchise. Therefore, six teams would lose one goaltender and one forward, sixteen teams would lose one defenseman and one forward, and two teams would lose two forwards.

Both the Panthers and the Mighty Ducks were to select three goaltenders, eight defensemen, and thirteen forwards.

Phase II

There was a second phase to the 1993 NHL Expansion Draft, in which the Tampa Bay Lightning, Ottawa Senators, and San Jose Sharks (the three expansion teams who joined the league in the two previous seasons) selected players from the Panthers and Mighty Ducks.

The Panthers and Mighty Ducks each were to lose one goaltender, one defenseman, and one forward.
