1967. NHL. AMATEUR DRAFT.

Picture
     The 1967 NHL Amateur Draft was held on Wednesday, June 7, 1967 at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Quebec. The draft order was set by the National Hockey League with the six expansion teams drafting first, according to results of a lottery. Draft positions 7-12 were based on the rotation established in previous years with the team that picked number one in 1966 (Boston) dropping to number 12 and all others moving up one position. The Los Angeles Kings chose defenseman Rick Pagnutti from Garson-Falconbridge (NOHA) first overall.

     ​The Pittsburgh Penguins drafted second overall out of 12 teams in each round.

Bob Smith


     Pittsburgh selected goaltender Steve Rexe from Belleville (OHA Sr.) in the first round. Rexe was offered a contract in 1967 by Penguins General Manager Jack Riley, but turned down the offer in order to join the Canadian national hockey team and competed internationally for Canada. In 1968, Rexe backed up goaltender Wayne Stephenson en route to Canada winning the bronze medal at the Olympics in Grenoble, France. Rexe never played in the National Hockey League.

     ​Center Bob Smith was selected by the Penguins in the second round after Los Angeles passed on selecting a player in the second round. Smith played five seasons in the minor leagues and won the Turner Cup with the Muskegon Mohawks during the 1967-68 season, leading the team with six goals in nine playoff games. Smith played three games with the Amarillo Wranglers - Pittsburgh's CHL affiliate - in 1968-69.
