Both born and raised in New England, Eichel and Hanifin first played against each other when they were about 10 or 11. They were teammates at USA Hockey's National Development Program in Ann Arbor, Mich., and on this year's world junior team. But with Eichel at Boston University and Hanifin at Boston College, they faced off against each other again as part of a cracking college hockey rivalry.

“Noah brings out the best in me," Eichel said at the draft combine. "He's a good friend of mine and it's great competition playing against him."

Because Hanifin played against McDavid at the world juniors and Eichel during the NCAA season, he has a rather unique perspective on the two phenoms. And why not ask the best blueline prospect in the draft about the two best forwards available?
“Connor's crafty in the corners," Hanifin said. "He's very good on his edges, spinning in the corners, whereas Jack is a powerful north-south guy who will beat you with his speed if he needs to.”
