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

After those four teams comes any remaining division winners. The Pens will easily win their division, and look to be, at worst, the second best of the 6 likely division winners, after Chicago. So if the Pens lose before the conference finals, their pick is 26th. If Chicago also loses before the conference finals, the pick is 25th.
