McDavid, Eichel and Matthews are believed by some to be prospective generational players. So far, none of them are.

Man I am ready jump on the Oilers and nitpick them to pieces as much as anyone else on this forum but to say he hasn't accomplished anything...
First, he has played a season and a half in the NHL due to injury. In his first full season he's a Hart nominee. He may not have won a cup but, again, he's 2 years into his career on a team that still has a ton of holes masked by him and Talbot. Like Crosby he has made 3rd line players look like superstars. When Draisaitl gets his new contract he better have a "McDavid" vanity plate on his lambo and buy his new house on McDavid lane.
I would call him a generational talent as much as it makes me want to throw up. Put him on a more well-rounded team and he's probably still playing hockey this week.
