The real journey for Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel have yet to begin, and according to Paul Hamilton – the players seem very agitated by the media. The Buffalo Sabres are destined to land either Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel with the second overall pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft later this month.
With Connor McDavid touted as the number one pick likely going to the Edmonton Oilers, that leaves Jack Eichel going second to the Buffalo Sabres.
But it doesn’t make it a lock. The Edmonton Oilers, who have more first overall picks in the last five years than the Chicago Blackhawks have Stanley Cups could surprise the hockey world (but not Jack Eichel) by taking Eichel with the number one overall pick.
