The '''1999 NHL expansion draft''' was an [[expansion draft]] held by the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) to fill the roster of the league's expansion team for the [[1999–2000 NHL season|1999–2000 season]], the [[Atlanta Thrashers]]. The draft took place on June 25, 1999, in [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]], U.S.

==Rules==
The Thrashers were to select 26 players, one from each existing franchise (except for the [[Nashville Predators]]) at the time of the draft. Each franchise was allowed to protect '''either''' one goaltender, five defensemen, and nine forwards '''or''' two goaltenders, three defensemen, and seven forwards. Teams which lost goaltenders in the [[1998 NHL expansion draft]] (Anaheim, Los Angeles, Montreal, New Jersey and the New York Rangers) could not lose a goaltender in the 1999 draft.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bluejackets.com/news/press/arts/109.0.html |title=Blue Jackets Only One Year Away From 2000 NHL Expansion And Entry Drafts |access-date=July 21, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041029054229/http://bluejackets.com/news/press/arts/109.0.html |archive-date=October 29, 2004 |date=June 25, 1999 }}</ref>
