Description

If hes born 2 days earlier, he is eligible for the 2015 NHL Draft. McDavid goes 1, Buffalo has a tough choice at #2 but given Eichel had just won the Hobey Baker, I think they could still go with him. After that, its a no doubter that Arizona would pick up their hometown kid to be their future at #3 in 2015. Given he was so young, he either would have still went to Switzerland for a year or he would've played in the NHL but would've probably only been fine to start, similar to Jack Hughes in his rookie year, now Hughes looks really good. I think they still have the picks to get Keller and Chychrun in 2016, but you don't get Schmaltz because you traded strome to get him and you no longer drafted strome.

Legend has it, he wouldn't waive his NMC to exit his mom's womb on Sept. 15 because he didn't want to play for the sh**show that is Arizona

I didn’t get this at first and thought you had no idea what the heck I was talking about. Then I reread it and I love it.

This was supposedly Matthew's reaction when he felt there was a chance he would be born on Sept. 15 only to be drafted by Arizona
