Player Discussion McDavid

Not for long. Drai has 9 GWG in 43 games so far, compared to McDavid's 3. That's a record breaking pace. The record is 16 but In the modern era it's 12.
Fair and that will be amazing too, but leading this franchise in anything involving scoring is a hell of an accomplishment
 
This is the time of year where he usually starts to get going. Once he masters this mysterious empty net thing, he'll blow past Mac.

At the end of the day though, the thing that is going to hang over his head is championships.

We know that he will put up amazing numbers, but will the Oilers be able to win a championship?

FWIW this years team is going to be better than last years team come playoff time.

Not all the numbers are amazing either.

This season and last McD is 27th in goal scoring. For some reason after a career high in goals the previous season. Its inexplicable, and theres some cost to it. McD has become an assist king, and that started in playoffs but his goal scoring was down in playoffs too. Whats up with him not potting? A generational player is scoring at a Toffoli rate. For a long period of time.
 
My guess is that McDavid desperately wants to represent Canada and wear the Maple Leaf. It's one of the items lacking from his resume. I can't see him not taking part in this tournament.
Also, it may be his only opportunity to play with Crosby. Even though the Olympics are next year, you never know when an injury may keep one of those player out from that.
