Oilers 2012 NHL MOck Draft Rankings March 3rd/12

The Season is coming to a close real soon and there has been a definite trend in the rankings for draft picks. Columbus and Edmonton are looking poised to pick 1 and 2 overall. I will be doing another revision this week to my REVS 2012 NHL Entry Draft rankings before the season's end. At that point there will be a small change to the order but not lot's of movement.

The Oilers are really looking like a team who will be picking in the top 3 of the lottery again this year. Should the order of final standings look like it does today the following players would be picked by the following teams. Of course that is only if they were to follow my 'REVS 2012 NHL Entry Draft rankings'.
