If that's the case there must be a lot of teams going for McDavid.


A soft defenseman who can't play defense and doesn't put up numbers, he's not going to generate much interest. At 28, he's getting past that point where some team might look at him because he's decently quick for a 200 pound player and has shown flashes of offensive skills. The problem is he can't utilize those skills under pressure and he's too often under pressure because of the mistakes he makes. Maybe an East team that values mobility will take a look at him but this will be his last NHL contract if he gets one.
