Oh, I just noticed there is no Chicago. Perhaps it is a typo and they forgot it, or it's a sign of the Steel's future. You be the judge.
EDIT: Chicago is now listed and have the 2nd pick.

About time someone puts that fucking franchise out of its misery. The incompetence has been stunning.
Thats what Jason gets for leaving the herd!
Why does the USHL have two drafts?
1) I emailed the league. It's a typo.
2)Because they can? OK, the second is for players who won't play this year because they are too young. The first draft is more like the NFL draft - come in an play. The second is like the baseball draft - see you in a few years.

It's a typo...but still isn't fixed as of 6:00 p.m.
Hmmm
Time will tell.
I guess it's up there now...but it sure seems weird they'd even "accidentally" leave it out when first published.
I know this draft will focus on 91s, but are there any rules that say 91s have to be taken first? I heard 91s must be taken in first four rounds then 90s are game. Also, since the "Whatevers" are an expansion team will they be allowed to pick older players?
