InfinityIggy's 2013 NHL Mock Draft
 

Mock draft for the 2013 NHL draft. I will update this list every so often as opinions of scouts and of course myself change. Once the season is over and we start to know the draft order, the list will be updated to reflect those teams, and who is picking where. For now, this list serves as my own personal ranking.

Let me know what your agree, or disagree with or point out any players you feel should be on my list that I missed. I am only familiar with around 35~ players in the draft at this point, so any tips are appreciated.

Cheers.

I like that you have MacKinnon at #1. I have no idea why so many people start putting Jones at #1.
Drouin at 7 is way to low, Fucale.

From your late first rounders i feel that most are not first round worthy. Sorensen, Comrie, Faschin, Kujawinski and Roy are all 2nd rounders in my opinion. Subban is at best a 3rd round pick.

Mantha and Gauthier are definitely first rounders. Other players worth a look are Wennberg, Lehkonen, Horvat, Zykov, Carrier, Dickinson and Klimchuk

Ah totally forgot about him, thanks for the info. I will look into those players.

Jones will be a top 2 pick. Also Bowey will sneak into the first round. Bad spot for Drouin to

Crystal ball?

Thanks for the Bowey tip, will look into him.

If Jones falls to 3 that team will be very lucky. Kid is gonna be a huge NHL stud. Personally I'd take him #1

Had some time to check out some of the players suggested and made some adjustments. Waiting until I have looked into the rest before I try and insert them into the mock..

Pretty good. I feel like Morrissey will go a fair bit sooner than 26 though.

I have read a couple of scouting reports indicating he is looking more like a top 20 pick, maybe top 15. Lots of good players though, so I think I will hold off for now until I get a chance to learn more about him, I have seen people have him as high as 11th though..

I think Drouin, Zadorov and Morrissey are too low.

Drouin top 5, Zadorov top 15 and Morrissey top 20 for me.

Personally im not 100% sold with Drouin yet.

Zadorov and Morrissey I have not seen too much of yet (will try to catch them in another game soon). I imagine Zadorov will move up the list next time I update it as he is getting lots of praise lately.
