hmm wasn't Mackinnon also supposed to be the next Crosby? I'm sure McDavid will be a great prospect but I think it's a bit early to be saying he'll be that good.

Can you think of a good NHL comparable for Nylander in his draft year?

MacKinnon's only comp to Crosby is because they are from the same town and the same build, McDavid like Tavares got early OHL status as a 15 year old which is one of the main reasons for his hype.

I would say Patrick Kane, though depending on grow spurts and such he might end up at like 6'1

Remember you did a blog about that American kid who put up much better numbers against Mackinnon in the same league. Do you remember his name?

Taylor Cammarata, the midget with skills

Sounds like the US' four year run is going to come to an end.

That's true too, I just don't like the idea of giving the kid this much praise/pressure so early.

Side question: which draft is looking better 2013 or 2014?

God I've missed your prospect blogs Ever since Huddle left, there's been a serious void!

I've missed you missing them

To me Eichel is superior to McDavid. I've seen both play a couple of times live at the U-17 and Eichel is more impactful than McDavid. He's much more complete. Eichel does it all, PP, PK, Important faceoffs, beginning/ending of a period.

Eichel is stronger than McDavid right now and if the draft would be held at the moment, he'd be picked first. It will be a good race to follow in the next few years, as it's ought to go down to those two.

Who the hell knows. Eastern media decides based on who is drafting. Last year's draft was getting a lot of hype then we win the lotto and it's a useless draft.
