Got confused by the no draft party until 2015 line. Cleared up now.
Party on Wayne.

Next season sometime. I imagine there will be something on the Devils site. They're free tickets, so it wont be hard to get into. I dont see Newark/New Jersey going insane for the NHL Draft at all.

You can bet the Devils will make these a STH perk if possible

Poor form on them if they do. Draft tickets are almost always free and no place ever gets rid of em all.

I'm not sure if the team will have the ability to dole out these tickets, or if the NHL does it since its their event. However, the concession and parking revenue (or whatever % they get from it based upon the taxes the city collects), will go to the team.
It will be interesting, especially with the Rangers, Flyers, and Islanders fanbases so close to Newark. I can envision there actually being a bit of demand for these 5000 tickets with that pool of fans to draw from.
Tickets are now available for the 2011 NHL Entry Draft at Xcel Energy Center. Don't miss this highly anticipated event that will bring hockey's elite young players from around the world to the State of Hockey.

Good point about the NHL, but we're considered the host and the Devils will be responsible for ticket distribution. Just as the Wild were this year.
I dunno about the Rags and Flyers fans being *that* interested. The Flyers are hosting it in 2014 and I would bet that neither of them will have high enough picks to garner that much interest.
Heres how the Wild did it. It looks like STH got first dibs, but then they had an allotment for tonight...

You ARE aware that it's currently 2012 and the draft is in Pittsburgh this year, right?

Lou will give up the pick next year so he doesn't have to put a #13 jersey on a player.

“I think winning against them in the big stage, not just for me, but for the fans of New Jersey, people that are supporting us and always take a second seat to these guys for whatever reason, now they’ve got to be pretty happy going to work and going to school and doing all their things that they do." - Martin Brodeur
