2013 NHL Draft Prospect Battle - McCarron vs. Klimchuk vs. Erne

The 2013 NHL Draft was considered one of the best drafts if not the best NHL draft since 2003. Did the Montreal Canadiens make the right selection with Right Wing Michael McCarron? The Canadiens may have been seeking a bigger power forward type like McCarron or Erne as opposed to more of a smaller scorer like Klimchuk but will this prove to be the best decision at the 25th pick in a good draft?

More goes into how these players do than their statistics but you can follow the statistics of these three players here for fun to start.
