Here's some actual content for you guys! Accurately predicting the NHL draft is a next to impossible endeavour, as you can never tell exactly what each organization is plotting behind the scenes. I decided to take a shot in the dark at the first round just for fun, and for curiosities sake to see how closely I can predict the outcome. Feel free to let me know of any thoughts or opinions you have of my decisions, and give me a shout if you want any explanations as to my rankings. All right, here we go!
