I disagree. McDavid changes the face of the sabres.
Eichel is good but does not do that
- hafgod

Hes a mix between getzlaf and tavares. It may teak a few more years before his name is mentioned in the top tier players, but the Ovechkin?Malkin draft worked out for both teams talent wise

Bolded should apply to the Leafs too though, no?
- stashu

True.



I meant our rivalry. Hasn't really meant much for awhile.
We're terrible. And they've been bad

Stamkos Gretsky Lemeuix Crosby
I will take these
- hafgod

So you would not want one of those American born players on your team if you could not get the Canadian ones?

If Eichel is as good as Modano. Hell thats (frank)ign amazing
- Cheeseballin

But MCDAvid is compared to Crosby.
Eichel will be very good.
McDavid is generational

I disagree. McDavid changes the face of the sabres.
Eichel is good but does not do that
- hafgod

that's just not true at all

Oh totally.

I'm actually enjoying the hate
- Ihateallofu

Oh I would be too had we won hahaha. We got Eichel which I figured would happen and I couldnt be happier I do not understand some of this Toronto crap going on these boards right now

But MCDAvid is compared to Crosby.
Eichel will be very good.
McDavid is generational
- hafgod

they're both generational

- rmiethaner

I would my original point is that I was disappointed.
Not to get the generational player.
Never complain about getting a good player

they're both generational

The best American player ever was not generational

you know what someone says this every year and never happens they're always sucking ass hell would not shock me if they're in the top 3 again
- gerbe75pts

Keep dreaming. The only thing that keeps the Oilers from becoming another dynasty in the next 10 years will be the salary cap. They are STACKED.

I've watched a ton of eichel this year. Streamed everything I could get my hands on.
He's so sick

They don't always get Wayne Gretzky but when they do, they don't suck.

But MCDAvid is compared to Crosby.
Eichel will be very good.
McDavid is generational
- hafgod

And Crosby has Malkin on his team and they have won once.

It is hard to win a cup.

they're both generational
- gerbe75pts

Let it go man. Some people just want to complain. It will calm down soon...hopefully...

Not yet

The best American player ever was not generational
- hafgod

Already calling him McJesus here in Edmonton.

Not sure you've paid attention to any prospects reviews at the very least, but this is the Ovi-Malkin draft. Both teams win with 1 or 2.

Gotcha. Understood.

But MCDAvid is compared to Crosby.
Eichel will be very good.
McDavid is generational
- hafgod

One player does nto make a team. Pittsburgh is evidence of that right now. They have two of the best players in the world and are getting shut down. McDavid and Eichel will need a good team around them for the Oilers nd Sabres to be good. One player does not win you cups.

I've watched a ton of eichel this year. Streamed everything I could get my hands on.
He's so sick
- Ihateallofu

Oh hell yea!!! I can not wait!!!

Hull
Modano
Roenik
Tkachuck
Mullen

Those are the forwards. All 500 goal scorers.

Yeah, I will take one of them
- rmiethaner

Uh.... LaFontaine?

Uh.... LaFontaine?
- JCSabs06

No Mike Grier on that list?

And Crosby has Malkin on his team and they have won once.

It is hard to win a cup.
- rmiethaner

All I am saying would you rather have Crosby
Or Madono
I think any other year I would be estatic with Eichel. But McDavid is in this draft.
I had the worst team and I get second prize in the beauty contest

Already calling him McJesus here in Edmonton.
- NEDinED

To be fair, that nickname would have rolled through Buffalo too

So are our top 3 centers Eichel, Reinhart and Girgensons? What happens with Grigorenko and Larsson?
