2013 NHL Draft Prospect Battle - Shinkaruk vs. McCarron vs. Klimchuk vs. Erne
The 2013 NHL Draft was considered one of the best drafts if not the best NHL draft since 2003. Did the Vancouver Canucks make the right selection with Left Wing/Center Hunter Shinkaruk? The Canucks of course traded Goaltender Cory Schneider to the New Jersey Devils for the 9th overall selection which they had used on center Bo Horvat.
The Canucks passed up right wing Michael McCarron and left wings Morgan Klimchuk and Adam Erne who were all on the board at the 24th pick.
More goes into how these players do than their statistics but you can follow the statistics of these four players here for fun to start.

2013 NHL Draft Prospect Battle Horvat vs. Nichushkin vs. Domi
The 2013 NHL Draft was considered one of the best drafts if not the best NHL draft since 2003. Did the Vancouver Canucks make the right selection on Center/Left Wing Bo Horvat? The Canucks of course traded Goaltender Cory Schneider to the New Jersey Devils for the 9th overall selection so of course this pick may be under even greater scrutiny in the future.
Bo Horvat was one of my favorite players in the draft so I am anxious to see how Horvat performs in the future. But should Vancouver have selected the big and talented forward Valeri Nichushkin instead or even Horvat's teammate playmaking center Max Domi?
