Attempt at a 2013 Mock Draft

[ekof232]

Before I begin, let me just say that, as opposed to using the actual standings of 2011-2012 or applying the weighted lottery format used to determine the order of selection in the 2005 NHL entry draft, I simply wrote the names of each team on corresponding pieces of paper and drew them one at a time from a hat to determine the drafting spots.

1-Toronto=MacKinnon
2-Nashville=Barkov (Jones is extremely tempting, but I think Barkov is very close to him in terms of potential and fits their needs better)
3-Dallas=Jones
4-Calgary=Monahan (scoring ability and two-way play)
5-Phoenix=Drouin
6-Detroit=Lindholm
7-St. Louis=Pulock
8-Anaheim=Ristolainen (no specific weakness, they go BPA)
9-Colorado=Shinkaruk
10-NY Islanders=Nichushkin
11-Montreal=Lazar
12-Columbus=Nurse
13-Winnipeg=Mantha
14-New Jersey=Erne
15-Vancouver=Morissey
16-Minnesota=Zadorov
17-Edmonton=Fuchale
18-Boston=Domi
19-Pittsburgh=Gauthier
20-Wahington=Burakovsky
21-San Jose=Rychel
22-Carolina=Duclair
23-Ottawa=Hagg
24-Columbus (Los Angeles)=Compher
25-Buffalo=Carrier
26-Columbus (NY Rangers)=De la Rose
27-Florida=Lekhonen
28-Philadelphia=Theodore
29-Tampa Bay=Klimchuck
30-Chicago=Santini

I would personally prefer Nurse or Zadorov over Lazar for Montreal. We need a big, physical D-man over a two-way center.

Seems accurate to me, Toronto approves of this mock draft.

I bet you must have been thrilled when you picked Toronto first overall..

[HossTheBoss]

At 30th overall I think Chicago would be tempted to take Eric Comrie or Spencer Martin.. I'd take Martin personally.

Morrissey = yes please.

I'd feel bad for Morrissey going to one of the teams he grew up (probably still) hating... He's a huge die hard Flames fan.... grew up in Spring Bank just outside of Calgary.... I'm sure that would all change when being drafted.

i mentioned this in another mock draft that the Oilers will not take a goalie in the 1st round. they would take Domi, Gauthier, Burakovsky, Rychel or Haag before Fucale.
