Read: Velcro Nameplates
Former Islander PR Man Chris Botta relays some old draft stories over at his blog. 
He tells about velcro name plates for all the potential picks and hiding under a table to make sure no one would see the names he attatches.
A very cool and interesting read.
Rotter: I have always wondered how teams with mid-round picks always seem to have jerseys with the names on the back already, and that story explains it. I thought it was so cool when the Rangers gave Alexei Cherepanov a jersey with his name on when he went 17th in 2007 but also thuoght it was weird and that they must have had backup jerseys too. Again, this explains it.
