After a lacklustre 2012 NHL Entry Draft, one of the NHL’s most anticipated calendar dates was looking to live up to the hype for the 2013 edition. For much of the year, forward Nathan MacKinnon and defenceman Seth Jones shared the spotlight, akin to what we saw in 2009 with Tavares/Hedman. Late riser Jonathan Drouin played the dark horse role like Matt Duchene in that both catapulted up the ISS rankings as the year progressed, eventually solidifying a Top-3 consensus rank. 2013 would go on to be one of the best drafts of the decade, so have a look at the slides and see all the budding stars before they became NHLers!
