PITTSBURGH, Pa – Another year, another mock draft. The staff at PHN once again did our yearly mock draft as we predict what top hockey prospects will be drafted by who in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft that starts later today in Buffalo, NY. Last year the staff 
had more correct predictions than ever before so hopefully we can do it again this year.
Here are our predictions. We hope you had fun following our draft as much as we had putting it together. Expect the Edmonton Oilers to make life interesting once the top three picks are done. A team in dire need of blue chip defensemen in a draft that is top heavy at the forward position. Let the fun begin.
