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

That one doesn't work in the States though.

"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.

Where's the interview where he said that?

On the Oilers website.

No one in Toronto gives a damn about McDavid. I dont know why you guys keep mentioning that.

He's an elite prospect but the Leafs are rebuilding themselves and will get plenty of them along the way.

We are two drafts away from having a top pairing set as well as the top six.

We will likely pick 14-16 times in the next draft!

We had bad luck, Oilers had good luck. We have moved on the second after it was announced.

There is definitely some saltiness in the Toronto media and some of the fans about McDavid being on the Oilers.

"The fitness testing wasn't a whole lot of fun, but (it was) really cool to throw on the Oilers gear, the gear I want to play the rest of my life wearing," said McDavid.

Awesome to hear that from him.

While I am fine with McDavid being in Edmonton for life etc. could he really say anything else at this point? I mean it's quite rare that a player just drafted comes out and says "I'm going to leave once I reach UFA". No point in reading too much on that quote imo but I guess some people want some sort of reassuring.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Still a joke that he went to the Oilers. NHL should be embarrassed.

Actually, he made the comment unprovoked. So your explanation doesn't really hold any weight.

Hmmm.... only had to wait a few posts.

Whatever floats your boat I guess. The point still stands (to a lesser degree) even if it was unprovoked.

 

[Auguste McEscoffier]

People use the expression on his face to determine McDavid does not want to be an Oiler and will demand a trade as soon as possible.

McDavid, using his own words, says he wants to be an Oiler for the rest of his life.

The majority of HF would rather side with the first paragraph.

I think what he meant is no one gives a **** he is in EDM and not in Toronto, except media trying to make money. People do care that EDM has like 12 1stOA picks in a row though.

Lol based on some of the youtube videos, some hadn't moved on

Well you guys might've, but O'Neil and Ward haven't

Don't assume the obnoxious people speak for the whole fanbase. They are small in number but loud in volume. You can tell who the people are who thought 9.5% was a big number. We got a hell of a player at #4 who might be better than the #1 in a lot of drafts, hard to be bitter about that outcome.

 

[s7ark]

This is just nuts.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Not many players in this league can move like that right now. Much less an 18 year old.

hahah looks like a clip from nhl 16

I'm in Toronto and I give a damn!

I mean, sure, he's an oiler. I can still dream about him being a leaf.

Also, if the Leafs manage to get a prospect on Connor's level over the course of our rebuild, I will happily eat my shorts.

Like, I'll ******* wolf them down, man.

Sucks that you guys start the process when they alter the odds for the lottery further, but at least there shouldn't be much competition outside of Arizona. In a perfect world, they get Matthews, you guys get Chycrun. Maybe worry about the Sweeney factor, but he'd just go off the board anyway.
