2013 NHL Draft Prospect Battle - Jones vs. Nurse vs. Ristolainen

The 2013 NHL Draft was considered one of the best drafts if not the best NHL draft since 2003. Did the Nashville Predators make the right selection with the top defenseman prospect Seth Jones? The Predators defensive corps was already talented and obviously with Shea Weber, Nashville has one of the NHL's top defenseman if not the top defenseman. Jones did stand out as the top defenseman in the draft prior to the draft however this was a very good draft for defenseman. We could include 5th overall pick Center Elias Lindholm in the battle but I'm going to stick with a battle of the top 3 defensemen.

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.
