The talk surrounding this year's NHL Draft has been all about two players.

But just because Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel are grabbing all the headlines doesn't mean the draft isn't deep.

McDavid and Eichel are considered to be game-changing, generational talents and the hockey media has seized on the duo because they are what makes this draft special. Like it or not, these two will be linked together for a long time as pundits compare and contrast the players throughout their NHL careers.

If the Edmonton Oilers do anything besides use the No. 1 overall pick on McDavid, it would go down as one of the more shocking moments ever at the NHL Draft. So it's safe to say the uber-talented centerman is headed to the "City of Champions," where he'll try to do what a trio of recent Edmonton No. 1 overall picks couldn't -- get the Oilers back to the playoffs.

It would be nearly as surprising if the Buffalo Sabres didn't take Eichel with the No. 2 pick. The Boston University product and reigning Hobey Baker Award winner is pretty spectacular as far as consolation prizes go, and you better believe a kid with his array of skills is going to be hell-bent on proving he's second to nobody, including McDavid.

Over the next several years, we'll be treated to story after story updating the developments of both McDavid and Eichel. Think Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby, who were selected No. 1 overall in 2004 and 2005, respectively, but were linked together forever after both players made their NHL debuts in 2005-06.

McDavid and Eichel are all but certain to be gone two picks into this weekend's draft in Sunrise, Florida.
