TSN: If you had a secret poll of 30 general managers and you said two names: Eichel, Matthews--you can pick one for your franchise for the next 8 years. How do you think it would break down?
The response:
Custance: I think it would go Matthews, probably by a hair. And the reason I say this is that's a question I asked a lot because Auston missed that draft by whatever it was--2 or 3 days--yea, so just out of curiosity I said, 'Well, how would this draft had slotted if Auston was a few days older?' and pretty consistently guys would say 'McDavid's still the you know, he's in another stratosphere (and you know let's be real there) but then it would probably have gone Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel'
