I see Kessel's poor habits are already rubbing off on him.

I'm feeling more and more that between the two of them, Strome is the solid can't-go-wrong safe pick and Marner is the pick which might pay the biggest dividends.
I want both.

IMO Strome is a large 1C that we are looking for. Marner is exciting in the OHL, but his size may limit him.

That's nuts. Didn't the Knights sell off some pieces at the deadline because they didn't think it was their year? What's the mood around there now? Can Marner carry them through?

Zach Fucale isn't even starting for his team in the Q's playoffs. Man, Canada's goalies blow.

It looks like London's set to play Erie in round 2. That'll be interesting.
But midway through the article came a fascinating reveal: Sabres GM Tim Murray has already spent some time thinking about the question. And he thinks he might be able to get it done.
And the more I think about it, the more I suspect he?s right. Let?s assume that the Sabres do finish last ? sorry, Coyotes fans ? but then lose the lottery. They?d still have the second overall pick. That?s Jack Eichel?s spot, and most scouts consider him almost-but-not-quite in McDavid?s ballpark. Could Murray use that second overall pick, plus a package of other picks and prospects ? of which the Sabres have an impressive stockpile ? to convince the lucky lottery winner to trade down one spot?

If the Leafs were to somehow win the McDavid lottery, I doubt they'd do anything but grab him. But what of Buffalo's would be worth asking for to trade down one spot?

I think Eichel's good but McDavid is the clear #1 to me. You don't trade down from a potential generational player.
