Listed below are the 23 players selected at #13 overall since 2000. Some really impressive names, especially in the last decade.
Who is your favorite name here? Mine is Boston’s Jakub Zboril in 2015, one of three players the B’s selected immediately before the trio of Mat Barzal, Kyle Connor, and Thomas Chabot. The main message: it’s not necessarily where you pick, it’s nailing it at whatever spot you’re picking.
