Richard Cloutier: My Final, Real, Official 2013 Mock NHL Entry Draft

I'm saying we go Barkov. At some point, this team needs a #1 center. Bjugstad is not ready yet. Who's it going to be? Goc? Mueller? As it stands now, it's Drew Shore. Let that sink in.

EDIT: OMG FIRST ON A CLOUTIER BLOG!!!

Domi? Seriously? Maybe if he's there at 16 but not at 8. Well take shinkaruk/ristolainen if Lindholm and Nichushkin are off the board

Domi at 8? Sabres would trade down before making that pick IMO

Did you just spell Pulock wrong

dumb ass

If Shinkaruk is still there at #9 there is no way in hell the Devils are taking a Dman

For one, no way Morrissey falls to 30 okay and two, it's Pulock, not Polack.

Oilers will draft defense just to spite you. Lowe has been reading your blog all month long. To make up for this slap in the face he will hire you on for the PR department and you can tell all of us how you were just bluffing about the Oilers picking a forward

Richard, you had me believing that the sky was not only falling during the lockout, but that it done fell already & Fehr was hitler & he would "baseball" our beloved game. etc etc etc

I'm not so sure I can trust you anymore

Actually, I blame auto-correct for that one, but thank you sir, can I have another.

Here's the thing: Everyone who says the Oilers will draft defense are stupid.

The Oilers have a number of quality D prospects. At forward, however, there's no one worth considering. They must draft forwards, or else.

This.

And if Pulock falls as far as 20 the Flyers are moving up from 41 to take him.

Umm I did already, and man, it was unappetizing to say the least

edit I even started to believe your last avatar was me after I ate it

Wrong on almost every pick except for the first one.

1. Mac
2. Panthers take Barkov.
3. Bolts take JD.
4. Nashville swaps picks with the Hurricanes who draft Jones.
5. Preds get another pick in the draft and choose Lindholm.
6. Flames take their future captain Monahan.
7. Oilers draft for need and take Ristolainen who will be a beast.
8. Sabres take Nichushkin as a sidekick to Grigo.
9. Devils take Shinkaruk.
10. Stars finish off the top 10 by grabbing Domi.

This.

I would love Lindholm/Nichuskin at 8 and Morrissey/Pulock/ Wenneberg at 16

I actually think there is little chance Sabres stay at 8. My bet is they pick 3 or 5.

I predict Mac T gets Volpatti

Ryan Hartman is apparently the most hated player to play against in this draft who can back it up with some skill.
Oilers need someone like that, make the opponent angry and get them off their game

- bobert836

Agreed on this too. I cant see more than two D men going top 10 given the teams and forwards available.

If Nurse and Ristolanain are both gone by 11, I'd love to see the Flyers take Fucale. One of these days they'll pick the right goalie....maybe.
