I don't really watch junior hockey but why is McDavid considered to be such a generational talent? I've seen some hilight reels but his numbers really don't look amazing.
51 games - 22 goals - 86 points
When I think "generational talent" I think of Gretzky, Lemieux, Crosby.
Gretzky 2nd year in junior: 64 games - 70 goals - 182 points
Lemieux 2nd year in junior: 66 games - 84 goals - 184 points
Lemieux's 3rd year was amazing 70 games - 133 goals - 282 points
Crosby 2nd year in junior: 62 games - 66 goals - 168 points
Not trying to dump on the kid but what am I missing here?
