Welcome to HabsWorld Draft Central 2012, your one-stop source for our draft
coverage. Our coverage started several weeks ago when we started our
series looking at the top prospects available in the draft which will be
available to the Habs who select third as well as evaluating their depth
situation at each position.
The first round of this year’s draft takes place on Friday starting at 7 PM
EST while rounds two through seven will be on Saturday beginning at 10 AM EST.
TSN, RDS, and NBC Sports Network will have live coverage of Round One while the
NHL Network will televise the remaining rounds.
