Is Connor McDavid going to be the best skater in the NHL heading into the 2015-2016 season?
 
Nice assist by McDavid there. Escaped the defender in the corner and accelerated behind the net before floating a backhand pass to Elie.

His stock surely has dropped, however not enough to be picked later than #6 in my opinion. The gap between the top 2, then top 4, then the rest is pretty big.

McDavid
Eichel
Hanifin
Marner
Crouse/Strome
Provorov/Werenski/Zacha

That's how I am seeing it. I think Marner will be picked before Strome almost certainly. After that, I personally would pick Crouse and Provorov, maybe even Werenski before Strome.

Watching him play really bothers me. He's just too slow and could become useless at the NHL level. Or he could become a Thornton type player.

So Strome is either going to be Thornton or Gagner?
 
Strome is not injured. Go look at the film of his skating when he was scoring. Its the exact same.

He is just over rated. He showed nothing of a 4th overall draft pick in a deep top 10 last year. All of a sudden his stock skyrockets and now its just coming back down to earth.
 
He's got one assist through two periods. Erie is up 2-0. Beautiful backhand saucer pass to Elie.

Looking very good tonight.
 
Looks like he just scored to make it 3-0

Edit: That means that in 65 OHL games this season, he has 165 points, 100 above PPG
 
played a good game tonight

seemed like for most of the game Kris Knoblauch was okay with putting his line out there against Mermis-Brown and the Cassels line and they still dominated. Won a lot of puck battles and found more open space, power of home ice I guess.

I agree that he was always just as slow and awkward, but that doesn't mean he's not injured. It just means that his injury isn't affecting his speed. It could be something that's affecting him in other ways.

How bout if he just isnt playing that well? Why does he HAVE to be injured in some way. He looks exactly the same to me.

Im telling you dude, take Marner. He is a 2ppg superstar in the making.

Cassels line had 2 goals, and the McDavid line had 2 goals.

"Insiders" from Erie have insisted that he has an injury we'll find out about once the season's over.

Do you have a source for these 'insiders' because with all due respect anyone can say that.

Secondly, as a minor playing junior hockey, the coach cant have the guy playing injured to some degree it could hurt his growth or damage his career. Its not the same as grown men making their own decisions in the NHL.
