Picks 1 Through 5 Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

1. Edmonton Oilers

player. 148. The new front office in Edmonton gets a great start on their rebuild. With McDavid, Hopkins and <strong><a href=. Center. Erie (OHL). Connor McDavid. 1

Last pick: McDavid

2. Buffalo Sabres

Jack Eichel. 2. player. 12. Eichel isn’t McDavid, but he’s about as great of a consolation prize as there’s ever been. Sabres are doing everything they can to get Eichel to come to the NHL, including signing his former teammate Evan Rodrigues.. Center. Boston U (NCAA)

Last pick: Eichel

3. Arizona Coyotes

London (OHL). Mitch Marner. 3. player. 121. Choosing between Dylan Strome and Mitch Marner is a really tough decision. I could see the Coyotes going either way. They could really use both of them. I think goal scorers are more difficult to find than playmakers, so Marner makes more sense for the Coyotes. I could also see them draft Noah Hanifin, but I think their prospect pool needs forward talent more than it needs blue line talent.. Right Wing

Last pick: Dylan Strome

4. Toronto Maple Leafs

Last pick: Marner

5. Carolina Hurricanes

Boston C (NCAA). Noah Hanifin. 5. player. 109. The Hurricanes could draft Barzal or Crouse here, but I think they have so many needs, they’ll just draft the best player available. That would be Mr. Hanifin. Hanifin and Hayden Fleury, along with <strong><a href=. Defense

Last pick: Hanifin
