The Rules for the Mock Draft
This is a FanPost written by Austin Bmaster/Garret.
The annual Mock Draft Contest! Winner gets a Casey Mittelstadt autograph puck. Just DM me on Twitter (BMaster716) and I’ll have it shipped to you.
The point system: 5 points if you get the player the Sabres select right; 3 points if a player is selected at that draft slot (numbered slot and not team); 1 point if the player is selected in the first round.
