As a result of the draft lottery, the first three picks going into draft day were held by theTampa Bay Lightning, theAtlanta Thrashers expansion team, and theVancouver Canucks, respectively. The Canucks were determined to select both Sedins and therefore initiated a trading carousel involving multiple teams. After the trading was done, the Lightning had traded out of the first round altogether while the Thrashers held the first overall pick. However, Atlanta had also agreed not to draft either of the Sedin twins. The Thrashers therefore selected Stefan while the Canucks used the second and third picks to select the Sedins.
The overall impact in the NHL of players selected has not matched that of the neighboring drafts. An example is how many first round picks have played the equivalent of an entire regular season ten seasons after the 1999 draft; only 16 out of 28 first round picks in 1999 have played 82 NHL games, while the same statistic applies to 23 out of 27 players in 1998 and 21 out of 30 players in 2000. In addition, while the Sedin twins excelled in the NHL, onlyBarret Jackman andMartin Havlat were still active players of the other 26 first-round picks in the NHL 15 years after the draft.
The last active player in the NHL from the 1999 draft class wasCraig Anderson, who retired after the2022–23 season, although he was re-drafted in2001.

Vancouver GMBrian Burke was determined to draft Daniel and Henrik Sedin, after their performance at the1999 IIHF World Championship inOslo, Norway. He began by complementing his existing third overall pick by trading defensemanBryan McCabe and Vancouver's 1st-round pick in the2000 Draft (used to selectPavel Vorobiev) to the Chicago Blackhawks for the fourth overall pick. Then he obtained the first overall pick from Tampa Bay, flipping Chicago's fourth overall pick — which the Lightning subsequently traded to the Rangers, who used it to draft Pavel Brendl — and two third-round selections. Vancouver and Atlanta then worked out a deal whereby Atlanta, who held the second overall selection, promised to select Patrik Stefan with the first overall pick, leaving both Sedins available to Vancouver at 2nd and 3rd.[2]
