But imagine how many fans bought a new 34 jersey just for the "C" on it!The guy is the opposite of a captain and leader. The fact that this city and team has given him everything on a platter and received nothing in return, not even commitment, is embarrassing.
34 for McD straight up.Unfortunately people don't realize how bad he has been in the playoffs because Marner is even worse and Matthews will hit once in a while.
He plays in a higher scoring era with way way better talent and yet Mats outscored him in the playoffs in his first 53 playoff games with 25 goals to Matthews 23 in his 55 playoff games. Not at all a good look considering this guy literally has a chance to outscore Gretzky and Ovechkin, yet he ranks 28th in playoff g/60 (1st in the season among active players).
Personally I've seen enough, if somebody made me a good offer and he was open to being moved, I would move him in a heartbeat. He LOOKS like some generational must have piece, but in reality come playoff time he is more in line with someone like Taylor Hall or Brock Boeser or Brock Nelson aka a good player, nothing at all that special, not even close to worth 13+ million.
I'd imagine you could get a massive haul and restart something new here which is what we should do, ofc that would never happen in a trillion years, but it must be said. His playoff stats tell you the entire story.
