The three guys in the picture: ... and now Seth Jones has been traded

From the above picture taken in advance of the 2013 draft, only one — Nathan MacKinnon — now is playing with the NHL team that drafted him.

Seth Jones, who played some of his youth hockey in Denver, Wednesday was traded from Nashville to Columbus, for center Ryan Johansen. They both were No. 4 overall picks in the draft, Johansen in 2010 and then Jones. It also was a deal involving former Portland Winterhawks being swapped straight up.

Drouin, the No. 3 overall pick in 2013, and MacKinnon’s linemate with the Halifax Mooseheads, is with Syracuse of the American Hockey League after being sent down as it came out that he earlier had requested a trade from the Lightning.
