This was also the last time a playoff team picked first overall until 2020, when the New York Rangers won the first selection. The last active player in the NHL from this draft class was Claude Lemieux, who retired after the 2008–09 season. Selections by round Below are listed the selections in the 1983 NHL entry draft.
