By all accounts that I have read, the 2013 draft is the opposite. Decent depth in the top 5 and maybe top 10, but after that, a whole lot of average. It's not really a good year to go all in. Teams in the top 10 are not going to want to trade down easily either.
If this is the draft that the Flames finally decide to go for the rebuild, their timing stinks.

Up until this year everyone was touting this season as the next 2003 for depth in a draft...now it seems that people are changing their tune and saying the depth has fallen off.
Personally I hope that means teams will be a little more open to trading their firsts and the Flames can pick up some late picks.
If prior to 2003 everybody knew what the 2003 draft would end up being not a single first round pick would have been moved.
