No it's not. Mcdavid is a step up from all three those guys.

Yeah of course sure right now he is...I'm talking about last year heading into the draft at this time. Forget anything that happened last year

I don't think that was the point, I took it as mcdavid is clearly ahead of eichel in the same way Matthews is ahead of laine. Not that Matthews is as good as mcdavid.

Beauty snipe by Matthews!

Matthews on the point on the PP is magic

yep

Silly leaf fan, just saying that to reinforce that he's better than he is cause you believe he's being picked by the leafs.

if laine is better you'd think the leafs would take him then wouldn't you?

It would have been interesting to see how the 1st overall discussion would have changed if the Leafs won lottery last year.

Seems perfect fit in that thread.

The way he works in traffic is impressive. That will translate well to the NHL where you have zero room compared to play on the big ice.

Does the team picking #1 get that luxury?

It was already a bit silly last year. Shouldn't have even been a discussion but I heard lots of "it's closer than you think" talk on TV and the radio. No, no it's not.

Mcdavid was a lot better then too. Media tried making something out of mcdavid vs Eichel but there's nothing there. Mcdavid was always going number 1. Unless I'm confused about what you're getting at idk

Would of been Mcdavid is the obvious choice but Echiel has the higher upside

Media has to drum up some kind of controversy/suspense going into the draft I guess.

What I'm getting at is that it's similar to last years draft. The NHL media trying to make something out of nothing. We all know who's going 1,2 and 3.

Suddenly you'd have started reading and hearing about McDavid's faults and how Eichel is better in this area or that situation.

Oh okay well that I agree with but Laine has looked good so im sure there will be some consideration but yeah 1 2 3 looks set.
