Not trying to rag on your attempt to re-draft, but it just points out how it almost never resembles the reality of drafting.
You're right, it would never happen...
BUT since we have the gift of hindsight this would be my re-draft based on potential. I would argue that the goalie class from that year is showing much more potential as potential #1s than the forwards in the class of which there are few top-liners.

2012 was an odd draft.
