2013 NHL Mock Draft – September Edition

September 15, 2012   Roach_4   5 Comments

I’ll be doing a monthly mock draft to update you guys on the top prospects and their progress throughout the year. I’ll rank the Top 15 only for the first few months of the junior season and move on to the full 30 after the World Junior Championships. The reason being by that time there’ll be more distinct separation between the Top 30 and the following 30. So here’s September’s Edition:

 

1. Nathan MacKinnon - The conseneous number choice at this point, could be best prospect since John Tavares

2. Seth Jones- Big defensemen playing with Portland of the WHL can do it all.

3. Sean Monahan - Elite blend of size and skill

4. Rasmus Ristolainen - The fact he’s logging upwards of 20 minutes a game in the Finnish League is telling of how mature he is already.

5. Sasha Barkov - Another big, super skilled forward. Only downside is teams might shy away because he’s Russian. Oh no wait, he’s Finnish.

6. Ryan Pulock

7. Hunter Shinkaruk

8. Curtis Lazar

9.Elias Lindholm

10.  Kerby Rychel

11. Max Domi

12. Andre Burakovsky

13. JT Compher

14. Valeri Nichushkin

15. Eric Roy

 

Honorable Mentions: William Carrier, Robert Hagg, Adam Erne

      I personally think Andre Burakovsky is a sure fire first rounder!

        I actually have him at 31! It’s hard to place a guy you’ve seen only once via poor quality streaming vs guys you’ve seen 2-3 times lives + tv games like Bo Horvat or Jeremy Gregoire and like I said it’s not an updated version! I made that list (it’s actually a Top 60) in the middle of July, the only thing who changed since is Shinkaruk (#5, now #6) and Pulock (#6, now #5) that I switched right after the Canada-Russia Challenge!

        Oh and like you’ve said it’s more after the WJC U20 that we’ll see the difference between the Top 30 guys and the others who are not quite Top 30 guys!
