NHL Mock Draft Rankings January 12/12

For fun, I am going to weekly post a "Oilers Mock NHL Draft Status". While it in no way is any indicator as to who the Oilers would select if they were to finish the season in that exact number, it gives us a idea as to what is available for them to select come that position. There are alot of Rankings out there, that get released continually. Of course since this is my blog, I am going to use my REVS 2012 NHL Prospect List for a drafting order. While some of you may disagree with my selections and rankings, I have been fairly accurate not only in ranking the new talent each year at the NHL Draft but also have been fairly close on the exact players each team selects at the draft. Now of course, that is me telling you I have done well and asking you to take my word for it. So why not throw it out there so the blogger world can see? It's all in fun anyway.
