Returns the live (real-time) NHL draft tracker picks from the
NHL web service endpoint draft-tracker/picks/now.
This is distinct from nhl_draft(), which hits draft/picks/now and
returns the static draft board. The draft tracker is only populated during
an active NHL draft window and will return NULL (or an empty payload)
outside of that window.
