An unsigned draft choice occurs when a team pics a player in the draft but does not sign him. Often players remain in juniors after drafted, that team just wants dibs on him. A player that has been "taken " in the NHL draft has the choice of siging a contract with that team or NOT. If he does not sign, another team has to get permission from the drafting NHL team to try to sign him instead. If he signs with the second team, that team has to pay a compensation amount to the original drafting team .
