With the Colorado Avalanche telling all who will listen they will be taking Nathan MacKinnon with the first overall pick in Sundays NHL Draft, the drama begins with the second pick belonging to the Florida Panthers. In the eyes of TSN Scout Craig Button and his 2013 NHL Mock Draft, the Panthers will select Portland Winterhawks defenceman Seth Jones in hopes he will anchor the blue line for years to come. With the Tampa Bay Lighting up next, Button feels MacKinnons teammate with the Halifax Mooseheads, Jonathan Drouin could be skating alongside the likes of Steven Stamkos and Martin St. Louis. The Calgary Flames are the first Canadian team picking in the NHL Draft and Swedish forward Elias Lindholm is Buttons pick to join the rebuilding program. The Edmonton Oilers have the next pick and Button feels Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds defenceman Darnell Nurse could be the defensive pillar the team has been looking for in recent years. With the 13th selection, the Winnipeg Jets may pick a name from their past in London Knights forward Max Domi, the son of former Jets tough guy Tie Domi. At the 17th spot, Button projects the Ottawa Senators to select Domis teammate in London, defenceman Nikita Zadorov. Then, Button thinks the Toronto Maple Leafs continue their search for a first-line centre by picking Frederik Gauthier of the Rimouski Oceanic with the 21st pick. The Flames have three first-round picks with Plymouth Whalers forward Ryan Hartman going 22nd and defenceman Steve Santini of the U.S. National Development Program going 28th. With the 24th overall pick, the Vancouver Canucks could select Brandon Wheat Kings defenceman Ryan Pulock while the Montreal Canadiens could follow with forward Valentin Zykov of the Baie-Comeau Drakkar.

According to a report from the Vancouver Province, the Lions are expected to replace former DC Rich Stubler with defensive backs coach Mark Washington.Defend the North was the Capcom Pro Tour North American event to watch this past weekend. There were plenty of intriguing stories that came up, but the best one followed the winner of the tournament.Ricki Ortiz dominated this past weekend. The Evil Genius Chun-Li player made short work of the entire playing field. She was the headline for all the stories.What does domination look like? Ortiz finished her tournament run in the top eight with a ridiculous 9-1 record. She demonstrated many of the positive strengths of Chun-Li, whether it was her spacing with normal moves in neutral, hit confirms into either special moves or v-trigger, or just suffocating space control.Ortizs performance against fellow teammate, Kenneth KBrad Bradley, was enough of an indication that she was the best player at Defend the North. It was a 3-0 sweep, with her controlling the matchs pace and space.ddddddddddddAt this point, its clear which players typically show up for finals day. Evil Genius KBrad, Echo Fox Julio Fuentes, Team Liquid Du NuckleDu Dang, and Team Naventic Peter Flash Susini look like fixtures for any North American tournament. Theyre the cream of the crop and share many similar attributes: great reactions, good optimization of meter, correct punishes and strong spacing.The differentiation only comes with character selection and individuality within those choices. There are certainly a few other names, not named Evil Geniuses Justin Jwong Wong, that consistently place in the top eight of major North American tournaments, but a standard is set, with Ortiz joining the upper echelon.
