2012 LeagueItToUs mock NHL Entry Draft
The 2012 NHL entry draft will be taking place in Pittsburgh
on June 22-23. Five of the League It To Us writers have entered their top 30
picks for this upcoming draft (Josh Daniels, Luke Rachar, Scott Navarro, Dylan McAteer,
and Josh Heuving). The way the this mock draft works is the player with the
lowest number rankings from the writers (ex. Josh H picks player A 1st, player
B 2nd and then Luke picks player A 1st and player B 3rd. well player A will
have 2 points and player B has 5 points). If the player does not get picked by
one of the writers they drop down to the next round. Before we get to the
