1. Buffalo - for obvious reasons
2. Edmonton - I think McDavid could help get that franchise back on track
3. Toronto - it would make an awesome rivalry with Buffalo (McDavid vs Eichel) and it would very cool to see McDavid get to play for his hometown team
Anybody but Buffalo, sack of **** game throwers. They had a top 2 pick last year that they purposefully sent down just to lose more games and not have him being a difference maker.
For me, Carolina and Arizona are deserving organizations, they haven't had top picks in quite some time and that could really help them out. Hell, I'd even prefer Oilers to win McDavid over the Sabres.
To all of those saying Toronto. McDavid can not make the Air Canada Centre any more packed on game nights. He should go to a franchise like Arizona or Carolina. I would rather see him in Toronto over Edmonton though.

I'd like to see the 'Canes or Columbus win.
Obviously there is a bit of personal motivation for those choices as Arizona and Edmonton are WC teams that I don't want getting any better.
I would be ok with Buffalo getting it, but I mean it cheeses me a bit that they've had two #1 picks in their history and last year a #2, and the last time Vancouver drafted in the top 5 was the Sedins. It's just kind of sour grapes more than anything else, but I guess they need the help. I just wish our expansion cousins could share the high pick wealth.
Edmonton winning would just make me wanna put McDavid out of his misery since he would in all likelihood have his development, confidence and quite possibly future destroyed.
