C Connor McDavid - Erie Otters, OHL (2015 Draft) VI

[Evincar]

I doubt he has much team success. The Oilers are worst than an expansion team.

 

[Past Considerations]

The Oilers had a cup final appearance in 2006...

I guess that wasn't thanks to the current or previous (Tambellini) management.

 

[Claypool]

I think he'll get between 45-55 points in his rookie season.

RIP McDavid's NHL career: 2015-2015.

He'll have plenty of career left after he leaves Edmonton.

 

[Kelly]

I am just glad the leafs didn't get it . Glad we have a franchise center in Eichel to fall back on. You?

Strome, Marner? Little too early to be showing off your dick don't ya think?

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

I'm a little disappointed honestly. Especially after his interview with McKenzie, where he pretty much said that he'd be excited to go to any team.

What did you expect him to say? "I hope anybody but Edmonton(or insert whatever team) drafts me"? Hockey media in Canada would start with a narrative on his character from the start of his career to the very end.

It's hard to blame him for him being bummed just like it's hard to talk about Edmonton as an exciting, up and coming team without mentioning the elephant in the room: they are run absolutely abysmally. Would you be excited to go to a team whose GM, just days after the season ended, has written off the next season already as "another developmental year"?

I think he'll get between 45-55 points in his rookie season.

That's what both RNH and Hall had. Crosby had 102. You don't think he could be at least better than RNH and Hall?

 

[SoupNazi]

I feel bad for McDavid.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Of Course he is. I'm not sure the team will be much better until they actually build it correctly.

Ya I think that's changed now

 

[Aceonfire*]

Watch Eerie is going to bench him now because of the law suit.

 

[ForsakenSabre]

Strome, Marner? Little too early to be showing off your dick don't ya think?

I can't wait for the leafs to take crouse

 

[ManofSteel55]

Remind me, how many number one picks has Edmonton ruined?

Zero? Yep, I count zero.

 

[Yarborough]

Yes. End thread.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

As a Flames fan I'm so pumped about this, he's going to make Monahan and Bennett that much better by going head to head against him. Plus seeing that kind of hockey between our 2 clubs is going to be amazing.

Yes he's just as likely to be a generational player, saying otherwise is just pure hate. Congrats Oilers, can't wait to kick his butt

 

[Crabapple]

Hahaha I'm crying. Bust eh?

 

[habdynasty]

Yes.

 

[Past Considerations]

The Oilers have amazing luck.

But Oilers are like a guy who wins the jackpot in a national lottery and after couple of years has nothing to show for as he has recklessly wasted all of the millions.

 

[Claypool]

That's what both RNH and Hall had. Crosby had 102. You don't think he could be at least better than RNH and Hall?

Nope. It's not 2006 anymore.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Edmonton needs to make some smart trades, and they have the pieces to do it. All is not lost for McDavid

This. Even edmonton won't drag him down tho, still think he shines

 

[Evincar]

Zero? Yep, I count zero.

What? Only Hall looks like a star.

 

[Skipee]

Kid is busted before he even has a chance. Just like Hall has been ruined with the culture of losing in Edmonton, Oileritis will soon infect McJesus and turn him into a very average center. If he's playing for the Oilers next year as an 18 year old....LOL. That's going to be just awful for him and completely stunt his development.

 

[Syckle78]

I feel bad for McDavid.

I guess you felt bad for Yzerman when he was drafted by Detroit, right? Our team was a toxic craphole at that point.

I'm seeing a lot of posts by fans of teams that seriously have no room to talk. Especially Toronto fans. Someone remind me when the leafs transformed from joke organization to gold standard for success. I must of been in a coma the last thirty years and missed that.

Either a player is going to be a ge.generational talent or they aren't. Yzerman scored 155 pts with **** qll for talent around him. If McDavid is as good as people were claiming little over an hour ago he'll be just fine..

 

[KarmaPolice]

Hall has done incredibly well, and RNH is developing more and more into a legit top line C. He'll be a great 2nd line C now, I guess (unless McD takes that role, but whatever).

I think he'll be fine. The Pens sucked for years before Mario. Detroit sucked for years before Yzerman. Those players turns out pretty decent.

 

[satbank]

He'll be just okay.
