My guess would be the 2017-18 season, next year the'll make him one of the 4 alternates, then either name him mid year or at the beginning of the 2017 season. Its a weird situation where Hall is cementing a leadership role, unlike when Crosby was named captain McDavid has other elite young talents who have been on the team a decent amount longer.How long until he is the captain?
That would not be fair.I really hope that Edmonton miss the play-offs and McDavid will play for Canada on World Championship.
I have no doubt this kid would have put up at least as many points as Crosby in his rookie year if he came into the league in 05-06 when refs actually called obstruction.
I highly doubt he would have put up over a 100 points, I think he would have put up around 80 points if he stayed healthy.
I hope he has enough time to get back into the calder conversation. Anyone else winning it would be a facade.
