The thing is, back then, it was nothing but hype. It's very early, but he's already giving us indications that he's a true generational talent. We've seen plenty of hyped guys not pan out in the past. He appears to be the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the Oilers have ~5-6 years of McDavid before he marries a Hollywood actress, moves to LA (to escape the Edmonton fishbowl of course), and gets traded to the Kings***. ***Anaheim and San Jose are also viable options as well.

While I get what you're saying, McDavid had generational talent, not just hype, labelled on him since he was about ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 It all depends on whether the Flyers trade Manning to Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to remember that as a Sens fan, I think of Alexandre Daigle. He was that kind of player, and there was absolutely no way he could possibly miss... We could've drafted Pronger or Kariya... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daigle had talent, but he never really wanted to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daigle had talent, but he never really wanted to play. I definitely get that. I'm just saying that when it comes to my personal analysis of a player as an NHL talent, that's why I don't care what anyone thinks about them until they actually get to the show. Of course, it has to be said that I'm looking at this as a fan and not a scout, which is certainly not the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kings Redeem LA Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Good catch and thread, Scott! And McDavid performed this incredible feat right after a season in which he missed 37 games from injury. Very Lemieuxesque. And he did this not long after Jack Eichel said he was better than Connor. Very McDavidesque. CM > JE on PPG this season and in their rookie campaigns. What's incredible to me too are all the times I've seen McDavid set his teammates up so well but they don't convert.

Edanl Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I think that he is the next Wayne Gretzky and he proved it in his amazing year of 100 points and it's only his second year. In my opinion, if he will continue like that he will have the amazing career and will be considered in the same category as Sydney Crosby and Wayne Gretzky. He already compared to them and rightly and he is the pride of Canadian hockey. I predict for him a great career and I think that he has no limit to what he could achieve because of his amazing talent and abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algdun Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 McDavid looks like second coming of M. Lemeiux to me. Long stride, deceptive (scary) speed, great stickhandling- without the bad back. I don't think Eichel is in same league. McDavid and Matthews could rule the league for years to come. Next question: who among young stars could become the next Bobby Orr (greatest D of all time, IMHO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
