Re: 2nd Overall pick in inaugural draft
Awesome thread!
Curious to see what the first seven picks of the one who selected McDavid were.
I'm kinda split between the two options. I honestly think both strategies can work if you modify your way of drafting. If I picked McDavid first then in the next few rounds I'd be scrambling to pick up the best possible low salary options to balance things out (Q. Hughes, Makar etc.). Picking MacKinnon does allow for more flexibility in drafting the rest of your roster.
