Re: What would you prefer?
McDavid
Re: What would you prefer?
Interesting predicament for sure. I don't think there's any doubt who's going 1st overall in the real draft and the real question is how close in talent Eichel will be. I think he's a tad below McDavid but just how far is too hard to call right now. I don't think anyone will really know until a few years of playing in the NHL.
Honestly, I think it's a very fair offer for McDavid but I would probably keep McDavid as well. The rest of the picks should also turn out to be very good NHL players (assumption of course but this is considered an excellent draft class) but there's always that gamble.
I don't envy your position here.

I know at one point about a year ago or so there were stories of some GMs ranking Eichel higher but I haven't heard as much of that talk as we near the draft. I highly doubt that any one of the 30 teams in the NHL have Eichel ahead of McDavid.
Re: What would you prefer?
It's quite easy to say McDavid, but that team is seriously hurting. If you can get a couple of the other teams drops who are legitamite keepers... Then come back and post again.
Re: What would you prefer?
Don't get me wrong I also believe that McDavid is going to be better then Eichel, however you'd be able to get some pretty strong players at 6th and 9th this year. Does the addition of two additional top prospects compensate for the drop from McDavid to Eichel? I'm not sure it's that clear cut.

i belive in a few seasons the extra picks would be more valuable.

Go for the homerun!
Re: What would you prefer?
McDavid for me.
Re: What would you prefer?
If you are a contender in the next year or two, I'd go with McDavid.
If you are looking at a few years down the road, 2nd, 6th, and 9th gives McDavid a run for his money. I'd ask for a cherry on top of 2nd, 6th, and 9th if you want to go that way.

Re: What would you prefer?
really? this is the first year i thought the media actual didn't bother trying to make a debate as to who would go first overall. mcdavid is handsdown the #1 pick, the gap between him and eichel is pretty big. whereas in previous years they tried to make the controversey (taylor vs tyler, tavares vs hedman etc)
Re: What would you prefer?
I'd think about it this way, once you draft McDavid you will be able to get way more than that for him in my opinion. McDavid for me.

Re: What would you prefer?
I would rather have McDavid. It's hard predicting if those two extra picks will even end up in the NHL in a few years.
McDavid should be a great player. Build around him.
