C Connor McDavid (2015, 1st, EDM) VII

[Jagemon]

That's freaking awesome

No pressure kiddo, none whatsoever.

 

[Soundwave]

Agreed.

Superstar athletes are generally able to become superstars by combining elite talent with hard work.
One in a generation athletes become generation by combining elite talent, hard work, and absolute dedication to success.

McDavid has that dedication, and the talent and the drive to be successful. Its not surprising that he did academically well in school. The drive he has means he would be successful no matter what he did in life.

I truly believe that dedication and drive and commitment to all aspects of life is what makes a generation player different from just regular "superstars"

He is really the jackpot on and off the ice.

I remember listening to his interview like months before the draft and his character is off the charts. His parents really raised him right.

Great player, I just see him a step down from Crosby and two steps down from Gretzky.

 

[VictorLustig]

 

[Jumptheshark]

love it

 

[McFlyingV]

Lol I laughed way too hard at that. Gretzky at the end

 

[Asinine]

Is it just me or does McDavid remind anyone else of Norman Bates?

 

[mjd]

Great player, I just see him a step down from Crosby and two steps down from Gretzky.

When do they release the prospect grades?

 

[1Gold Standard]

Just saw the vid where he wanted to stick around to see his teammate Strome get picked. That's a captain, that's a leader of men. He'll accomplish great things in the game and in life.

 

[Joey Moss]

Is it just me or does McDavid remind anyone else of Norman Bates?

Yes... I noticed this as well, they look identical.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Does anyone know when the Oilers Prospect Camp is? I can't find info anywhere. It's really starting to get annoying. lol

 

[Paxon]

Is it just me or does McDavid remind anyone else of Norman Bates?

The TV version? I could see that, yeah.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

The TV version? I could see that, yeah.

On Bates Motel? He reminds me of the guy who plays Norman.

 

[Tyjo]

Does anyone know when the Oilers Prospect Camp is? I can't find info anywhere. It's really starting to get annoying. lol

It starts Tuesday.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

It starts Tuesday.

Oh cool. Thank you.

[HP00]

....what

 

[McRpro]

Connor Mcdavid of the Edmonton Oilers.

God that sounds good!

 

[Virtanens Abust]

I wonder if he signs for big money in Toronto when his ELC is up.

 

[Del Preston]

I wonder if he signs for big money in Toronto when his ELC is up.

The Oilers are going to sign him to an 8-year extension in two years.

 

[Paxon]

The Oilers are going to sign him to an 8-year extension in two years.

Yep. I hope he retires an Oiler because I can't stand fans who act like player X is definitely going to join their team as a UFA.

 

[Bank Shot]

I wonder if he signs for big money in Toronto when his ELC is up.

The Leafs won't have any cap space left after signing Stamkos, and Staal.

I wonder if he signs for big money in Toronto when his ELC is up.

"It was really fun to throw on the Oilers gear, the gear I want to play the rest of my life wearing" - Connor McDavid (July 1, 2015)

The Eastern media aptly pointed out that his the angle of his head wavered 2.6 degrees over the course of his statement, so the current prevailing opinion is that McDavid will refuse to sign his ELC and demand a trade to Toronto.

I don't know if I've ever been as excited as I am right now for Game 1 next season!

Probably.
