Anaheim Ducks Assign First Round Pick Shea Theodore to his Juniors Team

The Anaheim Ducks signed Shea Theodore to a three year entry level contract and sent him back to Seattle in the WHL.

2013 NHL Draft Prospect Battle - Theodore vs. McCoshen vs. Bigras vs. Hagg

The 2013 NHL Draft was considered one of the best drafts if not the best NHL draft since 2003. Did the Anaheim Ducks make the right selection with Defenseman Shea Theodore? After a run on defenseman in the earlier part of the first round, 7 forwards were selected with the 7 selections prior to Anaheim's pick. Theodore is probably more of an offensive defenseman than McCoshen or Bigras who were on the board at this selection. 41st overall pick Robert Hagg was considered a steal by many in the second round and many had the Swedish defenseman as a first round pick.
More goes into how these players do than their statistics but you can follow the statistics of these four defenseman here for fun to start.
