2012 NHL Draft Location?

[S E P H]

Wasn't it officially announced like 3 weeks ago?

But wouldn't there be a logo? I haven't seen any 2012 Draft logo yet.

Can't find any official announcements, just this article that said it was likely Pittsburgh along with the humorous conflict with Anthrocon: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/penguins/s_750472.html

A decision has not been finalized, but the 2012 NHL Entry Draft appears one step closer to landing in Pittsburgh for the first time in 15 years.

The Penguins already were considered the favorite to host the event when officials with Anthrocon 2012 -- the annual gathering of furries in Pittsburgh -- moved their event at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center to a week earlier in June than previously planned, accommodating a "rare opportunity" for the city to host an undisclosed event.

It's all but official that it'll be Pittsburgh.

Brand new arena + existing infrastructure + positive past experience = slam dunk


The rumors were flying fierce before that stupid furry convention moved their dates around.

I heard rumblings of Anaheim for next year.

He tweeted during the playoffs that a league official said it was in Anaheim. I even favorited the tweet. Not even two minutes later it was removed. That's where your rumor came from.
