Is Connor McDavid running the Oilers?

[MCR74]

They just hired his coach from junior. There's your answer.

 

[Garbageyuk]

If McGM is as successful as LeGM, he will also get a title.

I don’t think McDavid has the leadership capabilities that LeBron has though, plus the NHL’s salary cap is a lot more stifling. For those reasons, I highly doubt it.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

No.

Ownership wants McDavid to re-sign. The ideal way to do that would be to build a winner. The organization has proven to be beyond incompetent in that regard, so plan B is to bring in a bunch of people that might make him want to stick around regardless.

But hes the greatest leader in the history of the game he once asked his teamates to show up early for training camp

Yes, and a quick look at the standings says maybe they shouldn't have followed his advice.

LMAO! Please tell me this is real and not a photoshop.

Is Huberdeau's agent running the flames

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

I would really hope not. A good player doesn't necessarily make a good manager, not to mention it's crazy inappropriate and unprofessional. I could never imagine Crosby telling Shero or Rutherford who to sign. Shero even traded his best friend on the team and road roommate at the time (Colby Armstrong).

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Considering he pushed for Jack Campbell to sign there and he also pushed for Connor Brown to sign there I would say yes.

Lebron without the rings or the personality.

And how have those two panned out?

great (for the rest of the league)

 

[Daeavorn]

Do people think he will actually leave in FA? Would that be a first for the NHL? A superstar just leaving in FA?

Tavares did, and the resulting shitstorm will double when McDavid leaves.

 

[Nasti]

There is absolutely no reason to ever cater to one player like this. I don’t care how good he is. The Nordiques showed us the value of trading a generational talent years ago.

 

[Iggys Dome]

This is even worse IMO lol. It's Jeff Jackson's team now.

He seems to calling the shots.

That article reeks of BS.

Also looks like Warren Fogegele will remain an oiler for as long as McDavid is. Those who is wishing he's traded this deadline it's not going to happen.

Why holding on to Warren Foegele was the right move for the Oilers

Foegele was in the running to be dealt last summer, but he's since been one of the Oilers' best players to start the season.

That's great and all but he once did the worlds best shoulder tap.

It pays to be in the boss' good graces.

 

[TLEH]

I mean based on the 32 Thoughts Podcast, I don't think he is running the team.

It's a video. McDavid looks pissed and surprised to me.
