McDavid is obviously still going #1, but I think it's an interesting debate between Matthews and Eichel for #2. Personally, I think Eichel goes at 2 because many thought him to be the best American prospect since Kane, if not ever. The rest of the order would be chaotic to say the least. It is a little bit unfair because we have a grasp on most of the players from 2015 and not so much 2016, but it's still a fun topic to debate.

My order goes:
1. McDavid
2. Eichel
3. Matthews
4. Laine
5. Marner
6. Puljujarvi
7. Strome
8. Hanifin
9. Provorov
10. Juolevi
11. Werenski
12. Dubois
13. Tkachuk
14. Keller
15. Zacha
16. Meier
17. Nylander
18. Rantanen
19. Sergachev
20. Jost

1. McDavid
2. Laine
3. Matthews
4. Eichel
5. Werenski
6. Marner
7. Aho
8. Tkachuk
9. Chabot
10. Strome
11. Puljujarvi
12. Provorov
13. Zacha
14. Keller
15. Konecny
16. Nylander
17. Hanifin
18. Rantanen
19. Kaprizov
20. Chychrun
21. Jost

Hard to do..still to soon. Really feel like you forgot Aho and Chabot tho.

How can you place Eichel above Matthews? Eichel is 42 goals in 127 Games.. Matthews has 31 in 65 games... Matthews has been on an all rookie line 5x5 his entire career

What is your Laine ahead of Matthews basis? Goals scored? What about the rest of the game/ player stats? Matthews is by far an all around better player. He also doesn't have Scheiffele and Wheeler feeding him the puck.

TSN did the work for me, its to close to call at this point in time but here's an article.
