how much more heated debate would there be if McDavid was the American and Eichel was the Canadian?
quite surprising to me that the whole #1 pick debate is not really a debate...
team ending up with second overall pick might be the one ending up with the best player in this draft..

Pretty sure Mcdavid isn't going 2nd

Interesting you didn't have Zacha. Had him on my radar.

Go blog and good work, thanks for your view!

Zacha is tumbling down most chart

I've heard. Thought he had a good mix of grit and skill, but I watch far less of these prospects than the pros so what do I know.

Ethan Bear

it just sounds like he should be a champion.

good write up as always french horn

I'm pretty sure as well.. hence my comment.

I'd pick Eichel though.

And a Bruin.

If you take him 1st, then the best player will be going 2nd.

McDavid is not a new Crosby.
Best to compare him to the level of Tavares (elite but not super elite like Crosby).

Comparison for Eichel would be Toews.

So the question comes down to whether one prefers Toews or Tavares as your franchise C-man.

McDavid, if better at all than Eichel, is not THAT much better than Eichel as most (Canadians) like to believe.

And,, ALL of the hockey experts. But, what do they know.

hopefully one of the big name dmen fall to the flames assuming they pick around 12-15

how can you say mcdavid isn't as good as crosby, when mcdavid hasn't played a single nhl game?

for starters, look at their CHL stats.

crosby played in the Q which is a much higher scoring league, not to mention not as many good teams
who cares about how many CHL points they have, that has nothing to do with the NHL

well obviously there is no 'right/wrong' at this time in this discussion, since we'll have to wait at least 3-4years to have a better idea who ends up the best player.
I'm just saying that McDavid is not a lock as being the best player in this draft and in fact I guarantee that if McDavid was the American and Eichel the Canadian, we would have the same discussion on #1 pick when with Hall-Seguin.

- MaximusAurelius

Laughable.

McDavid is scoring at a rate in the OHL higher than Crosby did in the QMJHL in his draft year.

I don't care if Eichel is excellent, he is not as good as McDavid.

you mean the ones where McDavid is scoring more points per game than Crosby?

It's okay. You're a Sens fan and no threat to anyone but yourself.

Well sir, you can keep your so called 'guarantees' to yourself because they aren't worth a shred of poop.

Does Zacha use his size? Possible he falls to late 1st?

6'0" 214lbs, skates very well, PPG, great defensively, right-handed, on one of the top teams in the OHL, all while playing on NA ice for the first time!

What the (frak) does Andersson have to do to get some bloody attention? Deflate a football? Hide a Malaysian airplane? Fail to do a pull-up? AHH!

Frenchie, get some of your KGB pals to pay a visit to whomever is (frak)ing with Anderssons ranking!

... Besides that ... Provorov and Pilon this year, Clague next year, and Nolan Patrick (C/RW) in 2017. Go Wheat Kings, apparently
