Ray77 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Because of the lockout shortened season and how long the playoffs went, it sounds like the 2013 draft will be held in 1 day - this Sunday the 30th at 3:00 pm ET in New Jersey. I'm not sure how they're going to pull off 7 rounds of drafting in 1 day, especially if they're not starting until 3:00 ET. It also sounds like the Avalanche have said that Nathan MacKinnon of the Halifax Mooseheads will be their pick at #1, and not Seth Jones. The Calgary Flames have 3 first round picks - #6, #22 (from St. Louis) and #28 (from Pittsburgh). The Columbus Blue Jackets have 3 first round picks - #14, #19 (from NY Rangers) and #27 (from LA). The Buffalo Sabres have 2 first round picks - #8 and #16 (from Minnesota). The Dallas Stars have 2 first round picks - #10 and #29 (from Boston). The LA Kings, Boston Bruins, Minnesota Wild, NY Rangers, St. Louis Blues and Pittsburgh Penguins do not have 1st round picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxScore Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Its hard to go wrong with taking any of Drouin, Jones, or Mackinnon but I would take Jones #1 and think in the future he will be the best player to come from this draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
