Feels odd only to include forwards but the bar for Dmen and Goalies seems to be even higher. I don't know there exists a dman or goalie with generational potential in all of hockey (prospects included).

While I agree McDavid is not a "generational" player yet, it may be a disservice by putting him in same category as these guys, all of whom may end up great. Two years in the league, McDavid has an Art Ross which he won handily, about to win the Hart and got to 2nd round of playoffs. Those guys not close to that.
McDavid doesn't need to improve to be "generational". Those guys, to varying extents, all do.
Putting the Oilers hate aside, he has been phenomenal.
