2012 NHL Draft: The 20 Worst NHL Draft-Related Photos of All Time

The draft picture. One of the first moments that a player is wearing an NHL jersey. Most of the time the players are dressed very well: Their hair is perfect, and they look like upstanding young citizens.

Others clearly don't get the message. They have hairdos as old as their parents, or they are trying something horribly new. Some forget to smile; some don't want to smile at all.

Here are the 20 worst draft photos of all time.

Pavel Datsyuk & Zdeno Chara

Oops...sorry, wrong draft.

Patrik Berglund

How does a guy show up to the draft with this hairdo?

Martin Brodeur

Martin Brodeur: One of the few cases where someone gets better looking as he gets older.

Jonas Brodin

Why is there a car inside the arena?

Morgan Ellis

Give me a hug.

Tim Erixon

I'm so excited to be a member of the Calgary Flames.

Johan Gustafsson

It's how cold in Minnesota?

Oscar Hedman

The spiked mullet. One of, if not the worst hairdos of all time.

Joey Hishon.

Please, I don't want to be seen with this jersey. I'm a Red Wings fan.

Jaromir Jagr

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like a nerdy girl in this picture?

Kirill Kabanov

Wait, it gets worse.

Kirill Kabanov... Again

Told you so.

Lukas Kaspar

Does he know he's a hockey player and not a member of an '80s hair band?

Maxim Kitsyn

Find me someone with a bigger jaw than Maxim Kitsyn, and I'll be very surprised.

Evgeny Kuznetsov

If he smiles like that, he can stay in Russia.

Eric Lindros

Mr. Lindros, you're embarrassing us. Please put on the jersey.

Niclas Lucenius

He looks like he need to take a No. 2.

Duncan Siemens

He's either really tired or a little tipsy.

Vladimir Tarasenko

Shouldn't someone who is going to get drafted practice not blinking when the picture is taken?

Jarred Tinordi

I know teams shouldn't draft players according to their executive's height, but this just looks wrong.
