If we lose the lottery (80% chance of that happening), we get Eichel at 2nd. But, he's an American and going to college. He isn't coming here, especially if this management regime is still in place. Hanifin is American and in the NCAA aswell.
If we don't win the lottery, it might be wise to trade the pick, unless interviews with Eichel/Hanifin gives one confidence in drafting either.
Eichel has said he doesn't care where he goes.
People can always change their minds or lie.

Fans seriously need to give it a rest already.
All of McDavid/Eichel/Hanifin will report to their drafted teams.
Hall - RNH - Eberle
Yakupov - Draisaitl - Perron
Glencross - Sobotka - Upshall
Downie - Lapierre - Dorsett
Gunnarsson - Shattenkirk
Klefbom - Shultz
Nurse - Marincin
Niemi
Enroth
Draft McEichel then trade for 2 very good defencemen.
Need new goalies and good checkers.
i think it's guaranteed we don't get mcdavid no matter where we finish. Lottery is behind closed doors, they won't allow the oilers to get a 4th #1 pick in 6 years. Rules still allow us to get eichel though if we manage to be dead last.

I think Yak will get a manageable contract. Ebs might be the guy to go if we run into cap issues.
