NHL Draft Location Announced: Columbus, Ohio
The first round will be Friday night and broadcast live, with rounds two through seven held Saturday morning, the NHL said Wednesday.
Angelo Esposito, a center for the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, is the top-ranked North American skater by the NHL Central Scouting Service.
Trevor Cann of the OHL's Peterborough Petes is the top-rated North American goaltender, while right wing Alexei Cherepanov and goaltender Mark Owuya of the Swedish junior league are the top-ranked players in the European leagues.
As it stands, the top 5 picks would go to: Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Columbus, Chicago and St. Louis. These teams are pretty bad.

Post a CommentThis is not the NHL "supplemental draft", it's the Entry Draft. Y'know, the big one -- comparable to the NFL Entry Draft. Also this doesn't note that there's a lottery for the first-round picks that could alter the selection order, similar to what they do in the NBA.
