HW Draft 2013 Prospects: #6 Sean Monahan

The talented centerman finds himself in the sixth spot of the HW Draft Rankings, not because of lack of skills, but because he has the misfortune of playing on a struggling team.

His team, the Ottawa 67's, is the worst team in the Ontario Hockey League but Monahan still managed to score 31 goals and 47 assists in 58 games.

He did not have a chance to strut his stuff on the big stage in any international tournaments or big playoff games but his skill is undeniable.

He is above average in every single category aside from a high-end hockey mind which allows him to bring together all his tools to produce something dangerous on the ice. He isn't going to dazzle consistently with flashy plays but he has strong offensive and defensive instincts will produce good opportunities all around the ice.

Monahan gives any NHL team a prospect that provides both a safe player and a player with strong upside. He will be highly valued on draft day.
