The '''2000 NHL expansion draft''' was held on June 23, 2000, in [[Calgary]], [[Alberta]], Canada. The draft took place to fill the rosters of the league's two expansion teams for the [[2000–01 NHL season|2000–01 season]], the [[Columbus Blue Jackets]] and the [[Minnesota Wild]].

==Rules==
26 of the 28 teams existing in the league at the time of the draft were each allowed to protect either one goaltender, five defensemen, and nine forwards '''or''' two goaltenders, three defensemen, and seven forwards. The [[Atlanta Thrashers]] and [[Nashville Predators]] had their entire rosters protected, as they were the two newest franchises in the league, only being in existence for one and two years respectively.

For teams protecting only one goaltender, there was no experience requirement for those left unprotected. For teams protecting two goaltenders, each goaltender left unprotected must have appeared in either 10 [[National Hockey League|NHL]] games in the [[1999–2000 NHL season|1999–2000 season]] '''or''' 25 games in the [[1998–99 NHL season|1998–99 season]] and [[1999–2000 NHL season|1999–2000 season]]s combined. A goaltender had to be in net for at least 31 minutes in each game for the game to be counted against these totals.

At least one defenseman left unprotected by each team had to have appeared in at least 40 games in the [[1999–2000 NHL season|1999–2000 season]] '''or''' 70 games in the [[1998–99 NHL season|1998–99 season]] and [[1999–2000 NHL season|1999–2000 season]]s combined. At least two forwards left unprotected by each team had to have met the same requirements.

Fifty-two players were chosen in the draft; each previously existing team lost two players, and both expansion teams filled a roster of twenty-six players. Only one goaltender or one defenseman could be selected from each franchise. Both the Blue Jackets and the Wild were to use their first 24 selections on three goaltenders, eight defensemen, and thirteen forwards. The final two picks for each team could be any position.

==Deals==
In return for agreeing not to select certain unprotected players, the Blue Jackets and Wild were granted concessions by other franchises. The trades not involving Blue Jacket or Wild draft picks were booked as being for "future considerations":

'''Columbus'''
*San Jose traded [[Jan Čaloun|Jan Caloun]], a ninth-round pick ([[Martin Paroulek]]) in the [[2000 NHL entry draft]], and a conditional pick in the [[2001 NHL entry draft]] to Columbus on June 11, 2000, after the Blue Jackets agreed not to select [[Evgeni Nabokov]].
*Buffalo traded [[Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre]], [[Matt Davidson (ice hockey)|Matt Davidson]], and two fifth-round draft picks, one each in the 2000 ([[Tyler Kolarik]]) and 2001 ([[Andreas Jämtin|Andreas Jamtin]]) Entry Drafts, to Columbus on June 23, 2000, after the Blue Jackets agreed not to select [[Dominik Hašek|Dominik Hasek]] or [[Martin Biron]].

'''Minnesota'''
*San Jose traded [[Andy Sutton]], a seventh-round pick ([[Peter Bartoš|Peter Bartos]]) in the 2000 Entry Draft and a third-round pick (later traded to Columbus - [[Aaron Johnson (ice hockey)|(Aaron Johnson)]]) in the 2001 Entry Draft to Minnesota on June 11, 2000, for an eighth-round pick in the 2000 Entry Draft after the Wild agreed not to select Evgeni Nabokov.

==Post-draft==
Several of the players selected by the Blue Jackets and Wild in the Expansion Draft did not stay with the teams long after the draft. In fact, several players were traded later in the same day:

'''Columbus'''
*Turner Stevenson (traded to New Jersey to complete an earlier transaction)

'''Minnesota'''
