NHL Entry Draft question?

Question

does the junior team (Sarnia Sting) receive any financial compensation for Stamkos being drafted by Tampa Bay?

Answer 1

What it seems like your wondering about is maybe if the NHL has to compensate for taking him away from them?



If so, the NHL isn't taking taking Stamkos away from the team.  Sarnia is part of a league that is 18 and under only.  So he wouldn't be eligible to play for them next year.

Answer 2

the pride of producing a #1 player. other than that no

Answer 3

Yes, there is an agreement between the CHL and NHL where the leagues are compensated (not the team) for talent development.   the current amount is $25,000/player.  In 1970, it was only $5,000/player.

Answer 4

no you just know that your team helped to mold a #1 pick
