2013 NHL Draft Prospect Battle Monahan 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 Calgary Flames make the right selection with center Sean Monahan? Calgary had 3 first round selections in a good draft for defenseman and they didn't use one of the three picks for a defenseman. The Flames may have some young defenseman in the organization and Monahan may have been a safe pick but did they ultimately make a mistake passing up defensemen Darnell Nurse or Rasmus Ristolainen? The Flames took wingers Emile Poirier and Morgan Klimchuk with their other two first round selections and defenseman Keegan Kanzig with a 3rd round draft pick.
