1. Edmonton Oilers - Connor McDavid, C, Erie (OHL)
The unquestioned top talent available in the draft; could he do for the Oilers what Sidney Crosby did for the Pittsburgh Penguins? McDavid’s 120 points were nine less than the Ontario Hockey League leader despite playing 21 fewer games. He also excelled against older top competition playing for Canada at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship, tying for the tournament scoring lead.
2. Buffalo Sabres - Jack Eichel, C, Boston University (H-EAST)
The Sabres lost the Draft Lottery but get to pick a tremendous consolation prize.
