NHL Draft 2013: All Seven Rounds to be Held June 30
By Josh Sanchez
With the 2013 NHL schedule being released, we are starting to focus on some key dates from the NHL calendar.
The action-packed 48 game schedule will go on until late June and has forced the league to change their initial draft plans. The NHL has agreed on a date for the 2013 NHL Draft that will begin soon after the conclusion of the Stanley Cup Finals, which could run through June 28.
Instead of the normal two-round event, the NHL will host a one day draft marathon on June 30.
NHL draft will be June 30th. All 7 rounds.

The 2013 NHL Draft will be held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, but first, there is a season of hockey that needs to be played.
