The only way I see McDavid falling out of the top spot is if the injury appears to be something that will be reoccuring or an ongoing issue.
Other than that McDavid has shown enough, and will have time to show more especially since it seems Erie will go far in the play-offs/Memorial Cup, that scouts aren't going to pass up on the better talent because he missed games.
I know many people have said it is a 1a/1b thing with McDavid/Eichel but everyone also seems to agree that McDavid is the 1a and Eichel the 1b. It may not be a big gap between them but it does seem clear that McDavid is at least a tiny step ahead of Eichel.
