No, there are going against the centrally located draft with a million people in tow.
The league wants the 32 local arenas full of the home twon consumers while they watch the selections w/o the fans trekking elsewhere.
All the kids and families will be there at the central draft spot.
But now we don't have the droves of people that were starting to BE like the NHL draft where rooms are not for rent, and the spectacle is shred with eth goofy costumed fan base.

It would be interesting if they did have 32 draft parties, but I have not seen anything that says that is what they will do
