Scouts satisfied with final 2013 NHL Draft ranks
Quote:
"I think what everyone recognizes, and what they accept, is that there are no mistakes that are going to be made," NHL Director of Central Scouting Dan Marr told NHL.com. "There are no wrong choices at the top end of this draft. The top three or four players are all bona fide NHL candidates, and this year there is a variance on it because a team is going to take who they want (based on position of need). This is a nice luxury to have, where that caliber of a player you need to service your team for years to come will be available among those first three or four picks."
The team holding a later pick in the opening round also will have plenty to get excited about when all is said and done.

"There's so much talent in that first round, that there's only a little bit of separation from the guys that are 1-2-3 and then 4-5-6," Central Scouting's David Gregory said. "I feel strongly that we got the order right. There was a lot of discussion and a lot of debate over some guys and the years those players had, but I think we had it right."
