This is what I thought, but someone else said this:
30th: Stanley Cup winner
29th: Stanley Cup loser
28th: East/West runner up
27th: East/West runner up
And looking at the 2012 draft:
30th - LA
29th - NJ
28th - NYR
27th - PHX
It would appear that person was right.
Highly unlikely, but that PIT 1st rounder could be as high as 23rd overall
