NHL Draft Order Coming into Focus

The NHL Draft is a month away, and with teams dropping like flies in this year's playoffs, the NHL Draft order is looking clearer.  While it's a near foregone conclusion as to who will be taken with the first two picks and where they're going, there are 28 other picks to be made in the first round.  Here is the order, and at some point, I will be trying my hand at who will be picking who.

1. Edmonton
2. Buffalo
3. Arizona
4. Toronto
5. Carolina
6. New Jersey
7. Philadelphia
8. Columbus
9. San Jose
10. Colorado
11. Florida
12. Dallas
13. Los Angeles
14. Boston
15. Calgary
16. Edmonton (from Pittsburgh)
17. Winnipeg
18. Ottawa
19. Detroit
20. Minnesota
21. Buffalo (from NY Islanders)
22. Washington
23. Vancouver
24. Toronto (from Nashville)
25. Winnipeg (from St. Louis via Buffalo)
26. Montreal
27-30. Tampa Bay (from NY Rangers), Philadelphia (from Tampa Bay), Arizona (from Chicago), Anaheim

As you can see, the last four spots will be determined as the playoffs continue to progress.
