The 2013 NHL Draft was considered one of the best drafts if not the best NHL draft since 2003. Did the Columbus Blue Jackets make the right selection with Swedish center Alexander Wennberg?
Columbus had 3 first round picks including the 19th overall pick in addition to this pick the 14th pick. The Blue Jackets ended up taking Wennberg, forward Kerby Rychel and center Marko Dano in the 1st round. They did draft a promising defenseman Dillon Heatherington in the 2nd round. Should Columbus have taken Pulock, Zadorov or even Mueller all defensemen who went from 15th to 18th overall? Columbus chose Wennberg over another center Curtis Lazar.
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.

15th Overall Pick Defenseman Ryan Pulock New York Islanders
