Re: NHL 2015, Part II - Stanley Cup Playoff Race and Beyond
I asked somebody who knows these things if McDavid would put similar numbers up if he played NCAA hockey. The answer was no as he'd be going up against older players and more defensive systems.
Do I think he'll be the #1 pick? Yep and Eichel as #2. But if you're Edmonton, and you're loaded with whiz bang forwards, do you pick Eichel or do you trade down for a solid NHL young defenseman, a #1, and a solid AHL prospect?
If everyone is smart, both McDavid and Eichel spend next season in Juniors/NCAA, the following season in the AHL, and then up to the big club. The marketing people would have hysterics, but the talent evaluation side of the house needs to put their foot down.CCT '77 & '78

Also, Edmonton is sitting on the outside looking in right now in 3rd from the bottom, actually putting them in good position to take Noah Hanafin. There is no way the team with the first pick doesn't take McDavid, because no GM wants to be known as the guy who could've had McDavid and let him go.
I think both players will end up being very good players in the NHL. I'm a Ranger fan, but I'd like Buffalo to get Eichel.The Poster Formerly Known as Purple_and_Gold10©

Re: NHL 2015, Part II - Stanley Cup Playoff Race and Beyond
Can somebody here explain the playoff eligibility? There is a certain team in the Western conference who I sometimes look up in the standings, who plays in my old state to the Northwest of Wisconsin, who is 5th in the 'Points' standings. But my local paper in Madison, when posting the Conference standings, has them listed 7th. When I go to the Sports Mothership webpage and select Wildcard, they are listed as one of two wild card teams. Shouldn't there be 5 WC teams, after the 3 division leaders?

Playoff seedings.
Top division winner plays the bottom Wildcard.
Second division winner plays the top Wildcard.
Second and Third in each division play each other.
If you go to NHL.com and pick the Wildcard standings it shows the picture the best.

The remaining two playoff positions are the Wildcards. They are the two Western Conference teams with the next highest points. Current wildcard teams are Wild and Jets. Lowest wildcard team plays highest point total in the Western Conference (Jets would go to Blues). Wild would slide into the Pacific division to play the Ducks.
