The wait has been long.
The question: Which NHL team will get super talent Connor McDavid?
Last night came the answer – a shockingly such : Edmonton Oilers!
Swedish super talents who were elected in the first round – what happened?
18-year-old Canadian Connor McDavid has been the focus for a long while. He is the greatest hockey talent that seen since Sidney Crosby appeared about ten years ago and has also been called “the new Gretzky.”
When the NHL’s completed draft lottery last night was the nervousness great among fans for the 14 teams that had the chance to get first choice in the draft this summer.
The Sabres had the best chance
Buffalo Sabres – last in this year’s basic series – had the greatest chance (20%), followed by Arizona Coyotes (13.5%), Edmonton Oilers (11.5%), the Toronto Maple Leafs (9.5%), Carolina Hurricanes (8.5%) and so on in descending order, with the Boston Bruins (1%) as the last of the 14 teams that did not reach the Stanley Cup playoffs.
But it did not Buffalo.
The winner was instead Edmonton.
Again, it should be said. Oilers get, amazingly enough, thus selecting first for the fourth time in the last six years.
Twitter exploded with both cheers from Edmonton supporters and above all disappointment from the other teams’ fans who, given Oilers fluency in recent years lotteries, shouted out “rigged” and “scandalous” and “McDavids career is over before it even started” among other things.
“Incredible organization”
Connor McDavid
– A lot can still happen on draft day. But the Edmonton Oilers is an incredible organization. I am proud to go there, said McDavid – Born and raised in Toronto – without looking too happy.
The last three years, 18-year-old played for the Erie Otters in the OHL (Ontario Hockey League). 2014/15 McDavid played 47 matches and was noted for unprecedented 120 points ( 44 goals + 76 assists).
He was also a member of Canada’s junior who took the World Championship gold at the end of the year. There he played seven games, scored 11 points (3 goals + 8 assists) and was elected to the tournament All-Star teams.
Buffalo can choose Eichel
Thus, it is also clear that the Buffalo Sabres gets second choice in the draft. According to most analysts will then American Jack Eichel – the other super talent that is talked about – that end up there.
First Team three to choose draft will be Arizona Coyotes and Toronto Maple Leafs gets fourth choice.
Draften implemented in the Florida Panthers home arena BB & amp; T Center in Sunrise on 26-27 June.
