NHL Draft Challenge 2022

[pmorrow]

Project the top 32 picks in the draft. Picks due at the start of the draft.

Scoring:
3 points for getting the pick exactly correct.
2 points for being 1 or 2 picks away. For example if you guess they're drafted 4th or 5th and they go 6th, you get 2 points. If you guess they're taken 4th and they go 7th you don't get the extra point.
1 point if you're more than 2 away but the player is a first round pick.
