If you happened to watch the All-American Prospects game then you likely saw the skill of Noah Hanifin, who in my opinion played a better game that Eichel. Hanifin has a lot of skill and could be the underdog pick in this years draft behind McDavid and Eichel.
He has such amazing skill on the defencive end and is a top notch passer. While Eichel is slotted as the number two, if Hanifin can keep up his strong player on the Boston College blue line he could develop an interesting NCAA draft rivalry with Eichel.
