timberz21 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Was bored at work so I started my mock draft for 2013. I assumed (wish) Chicago would beat Boston in the finals for my draft order. 1) Colorado ---------- Seth Jones 2) Floride ------------ Nathan Mckinnon 3) Tampa Bay --------- Jonathan Drouin 4) Nashville ----------- Alexandre Barkov 5) Carolina ------------ Valeri Nichushkin 6) Calgary ------------ Hunter Shinkaruk 7) Edmonton ------------ Darnell Nurse 8) Buffalo ------------ Sean Monahan 9) New Jersey ------------ Elias Lindholm 10) Dallas ------------ Valentin Zykov 11) Philadelphia ------------ Frederik Gauthier 12) Phoenix ------------ Robert Hagg 13) Winnipeg ------------ Anthony Mantha 14) Columbus ------------ Rasmus Ristolainen 15) NYI ------------ Max Domi 16) Buffalo(MIN) ------------ Ryan Pulock 17) Ottawa ------------ Bo Horvat 18) Detroit ------------ Shea Theodore 19) Columbus (NYR) ------------ Mirco Mueller 20) San Jose ------------ Curtis Lazar 21) Toronto ------------ Kerby Rychel 22) Calgary ------------ Alexander Wennberg 23) Washington ------------ Nikita Zadorov 24) Vancouver ------------ Samuel Morin 25) Montreal ------------ Adam Erne 26) Anaheim ------------ Ryan Hartman 27) Columbus (LA) ------------ Josh Morrissey (Edit :owned by columbus) 28) Calgary (PIT) ------------ Zach Fucale (Edit: originally drafted for Pittsburgh, but Calgary need him too) 29) Boston ------------ William Carrier 30) Chicago ------------ Ian McCoshen Basically the reason I did it is, I wanted to see how far Kerby Rychel or Bo Horvat could fall to see if we could snatch one of them (Anthony Mantha also). But after that no way they both fall out of the top 20, with the playoffs BO Horvat had in the OHL and Rychel's name/popularity I don't see it. So I was a little disapointed. I've seen a lot of people interested in Ryan Hartman, but I haven't seen him play. People say he's a gritty player with lot of heart. However it's easier to play gritty at 5'11 and 180lbs in the junior but that his hard to bring at the NHL level with those numbers. I'm not convinced at all. Therefore I chose for the Canucks Samuel Morin a 6'6 defenseman. In the past few years Gillis picked a little bit in the Q, leading me to believe he has a few scouts overthere. Also he wanted to get bigger, well it doesn't get any bigger than this. He also played well at the U-18 for Canada. Maybe a futur Tyler Myers (hopefully with not meltdown lol). We have some depth at the Blue Line, but not really in the farm. Therefore giant usually takes longer to develops. If we give him another year in the junior and 2 more in the AHL, by then Hamhuis, Bieksa will be old and maybe not with the Canucks anymore. Most of my choice we're based on the CBS ranking.

Kanucklehead10 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 LOL. At this point, we need offensive help. Not defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 With respect, I think Domi goes too early on this one, Zadorov too late, and Hagg doesn't go in the top 15. With that said, I think Rychel could fall. Altogether a decent list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Doesn't Columbus also have LA's pick? Oh and Calgary has Pits' pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.53 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 If the last 6 were truly our only options, I'd take Ryan Hartman. We need offensive help and he's a great all around prospect. He would play really well with Brendan Gaunce too. This is going to be an interesting draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiznac Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I could see Erne or Hartman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckfan85 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I like Morin if Horvot, Gauthier, Rychel are taken, but here is where scouting comes in. Remember, Gillis wanted to take beau Bennett or Jason Tinordi in 2010 draft, they were taken by the time we picked so he traded the pick for ballard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilly Canuck Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 It would be an epic fail to pass up on Adam Erne if he's still available at that position, and like others have said, we need offensive prospects up front not more defensive prospects.

Warhippy Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I've always been a fan of drafting for the future, as GIllis has drafted for the "now" or traded for it, with what results? I've looked at the bio on this kid and agree with the OP. Having a huge mobile young stud with a slapper like that that can actually HIT THE NET is going to be a good pickup in the future. As well, had Gillis not gone off the map with some of his picks like Honz, Rodin and Ebbett etc, and gone the safe route we'd have some offensive depth up front pushing the top 9. Might not be a bad idea to start rounding out, or instead we could trade for another largely contracted Left Shooting defenceman instead and draft a small forward who may or may not work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
