This week marks the 10-year anniversary of the 2012 NHL Draft - so with that impending anniversary, and the 2022 iteration coming up in just a few short weeks, it seems prudent to take a look back at what was, and what’s been in the years since.
Obviously, the big disclaimer with any post like this is: hindsight is always 20/20. It’s easy for us today, in 2022, to look back on that year’s draft class and mutter under our breath about the misses, and other team’s hits. It’s hard to know where a player is going to wind up in the long run, and so many different factors come into play that anything can truly happen.
