SUNRISE (CBSMiami/AP) – There were a lot of ways the beginning of the 2013 NHL Draft could go.
The second-guessing came immediately after the Colorado Avalanche picked center Nathan MacKinnon first and the Florida Panthers selected center Aleksander Barkov second in the draft.
Blue-chip defenseman Seth Jones was considered the top prospect by many scouts, and winger Jonathan Drouin was coming off a 100-point season in juniors.
Less than three years later, those decisions are still reverberating around the NHL.
MacKinnon is in line for a big contract like the $35.
