MacKinnon was the next #87 too... Jones didnt creep up to the top of the prospect rankings until the beginning of the 2012-13 season. He surpassed MacKinnon at the WJC because MacKinnon underwhelmed and Drouin was impressive. To be honest, Jones had a poor overall WJC last year as well.

Jones-MacKinnon are similar to Ekblad-Reinhart. Either could be a #1, and it will all depend on the teams ultimately deciding which direction they want to go.

Mackinnon was never compared to Crosby, McDavid has gotten the most hype since Stamkos in that regaurds

Mackinnon got the comparison because he and Crosby are both from Cole Harbour...that's literally it

That being said, he was said to be the best 1st overall pick since Tavares.

Mackinnon from same home town, played same bantam AAA, dominated, went to Shattucks, dominated, went to the Q, dominated.... MacKinnon was being hyped as the next Crosby mostly because of identical paths but also because hes a good hockey player.

its kinda funny, we got spoiled with the OV, Crosby, Stamkos and Tavares drafts being so close to each other.....its been a while since we had a prospect like McDavid.

I think McDavid ends up going to an expansion team that will start in the 2015/2016 season......Quebec?

His actual skill set was never ever compared to Crosby, I watch and read a lot about the prospects. If it was there would have never been a question who was going first overall.

Made this helmet for one of HBs very own.... I thought I'd share since the majority here are Bills fans... Matte black!

Posted this on Twitter yesterday..

The way Miller is playing and the way Nolan has the team skating (aside from the last two games) they are slowly playing their way into a 9/10 slot in the draft.

I don't know whether to smile or cry..

Someone give me some old-school suggestions for movies to watch today.

Nothing classic because I'm sure I've already seen it. Something obscure..

SMILE.... IMPROVEMENT IS GOOD......

Don't get hung up on this draft thing like so many on here are..... A Stanley Cup can be won by teams without the number one or two draft picks you know.....

No, Empire Records is not some manly movie, but it's funny and entertaining - at least to me.

Until this team starts winning games on the road (they have the lofty total of zero since the coaching change), I refuse to worry about them losing lottery picks.

They're playing better. I've said that numerous times. Just not "good" enough to lose out on a top 3 or 4 pick. Best of both worlds.

Looking forward to it! Watching Russia vs. Sweden now, the Sweds look much quicker. 2-0

I would think if the Swedes win they are the Gold favorite for sure.
