NHL Entry Draft: WJC Fan Mock 2013

Based upon the way that my mock falls, who would you take instead?

If they can come out of the draft with Lazar, Morin and Burakovsky, Columbus will have had their best day since the civil war.

The Canucks need to take a chance on a boom prospect, and Tortorella will probably be gone before Mantha ends up in the NHL anyway. Coaching should have no factor in our drafting, especially first round drafting.

That is probably true. I think that I am less sure of Mantha then most on this board. It seems like most feel that his potential offensive output outweighs the faults that he has exhibited. Several teams seem willing to take a shot on him. I see him as a good risk pick in the twenties. Not sure if I would consider him in the mid-teens where a lot of these mocks have him going.

If Edm keeps number 7 (i think Mact trades it) I can't see them pass on Monahan if he's still on the board.

I'll be some pissed if the Canucks take Anthony Mantha. Their Quebec scouting is horrible, OHL is where they find players. Ryan Hartman please. He can actually play.

14) Columbus: Ryan Pulock-D: Columbus adds a power play piece. Good defender with a booming shot. Good skater for size. Team needs forwards but Pulock is too good to pass on at this point

No he is not. Not with Wennberg as the next pick.
