Comparing Eichel vs McDavid to Seguin vs Hall is ludicrous. During the lottery of the 2015 draft they had McDavid there in studio and when the Oilers won they asked how he felt to go to the Oilers. That was well before the actual draft lol. There was no debate. There was an "Eichel would be a 1st overall on nearly any other year except this one" type discussion, which was pretty much true.
