Fang Finger's 2012 NHL Mock Draft
Here is my 2012 NHL Entry Draft mock draft. This was created earlier this month and some ranking may have changed. The draft occurs this Friday at 6 PM CT in Pittsburgh, PA. The Nashville Predators don't have a first round pick, as of now, so that is why they are left out.
Enjoy the mock draft, after the jump!
