No comparison?
Come on.
Johnny is 6th overall in league scoring.
McDavid is a great player and special talent. But until he's scoring at that clip
over a whole season, it's outright ridiculous to suggest there's "No comparison".
It's not a slight to McDavid to give Gaudreau all the credit he deserves for being a very special talent and having reached superstar status in just his second pro season.
If anything, it seems you've bought into the mass media and hype campaign handing the keys to McDavid as the face of the NHL having bumped Crosby off the world's best player mantle - before he's played a full season.
There's no need for you to be telling Flames fans to take the homer glasses off because they're talking about Johnny potentially winning Art Ross Trophies. In his second pro season, he's five spots away, and that's currently a lot closer than McDavid at such a small sample size.
