The Results Are In
September 20, 2012
Craig Mactavish makes his selection at the NHL folding draft.
The folding draft(s) results are in. There were eight rounds, each one with a different order. Since the orders were based on the 2011-2012 NHL regular season, the Edmonton Oilers started off with the 1st overall pick, followed by Montreal and Toronto. However, each round had a different order, based on the standings. For example, in the 3rd round the order was reversed with Vancouver selecting 1st overall. "We wanted to make the order as even as possible", said Gary Bettman. "So, we decided that this was the best possible way to complete that."
