Prospect Ramblings: Tippett, Necas making the cut for different reasons
The 2017 NHL Entry Draft was supposed to be a weak one, but already two early first-round picks are impressing us faster than anticipated.

Summer development camps, trading for Eichel and more...
***
Welcome back to the ramblings. After taking some time off to decompress from the draft, Brendan, Zach and I will bring you ramblings on a weekly cadence for the rest of the summer as prospect news starts to slow down.
This week is actually one of the more action-packed of the summer as development camps are going on around the league.
Connor McDavid impressed in his first scrimmage, scoring five goals. Generational player. Jack Eichel, on the other hand, drew 17,000 fans to his first public scrimmage, but didn’t even record a point as Sam Reinhart stole the show! Bust. Honestly though, the McEichel hasn’t missed a beat, post draft, and while it is hard to not talk about them, we will do our best to refrain from updating you on every nice play they pull in a non-contact practice against a seventh round pick.
