McDavid's NHL draft moment - going No. 1 - finally is here (The Associated Press)

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) -- There's no mystery, no drama, no guessing about what will happen when the Edmonton Oilers make the first pick in Friday night's NHL draft.

It's going to be Connor McDavid's moment. The 6-foot-1 center has already been compared to the game's royalty and he is expected to go No. 1 to Edmonton.

Hobey Baker winner Jack Eichel from Boston University is expected to be the No. 2 pick, going to the Buffalo Sabres.
