]]>Seth Jones, Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin have struck up a solid friendship while going through the hoopla surrounding the buildup to the 2013 NHL Draft.
However, that doesn't change the fact that NHL Central Scouting's top three North American skaters in their final rankings are extremely competitive, and hearing their name called first June 30 at Prudential Center is something each would like to have on his resume.
"Obviously everyone wants to go No. 1," Drouin told NHL.com. "I'm pretty sure they want to, and it's the same thing for me. To be No. 1 is a big thing. It would be an honor."

]]>MacKinnon said he would be honored if the Colorado Avalanche selected him No. 1 at the 2013 NHL Draft on June 30. He said playing for new Colorado coach Patrick Roy, who was hired last week, would be a good experience.
"He'd be a great person to develop under," MacKinnon said of Roy. "He has a very competitive nature and I think I have that, too, so I think it'd go really well. He wants to win and I'd love to play for him. It'd be great."
