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.
Give 30 gms a choice between the two. You won't find a single one who would pick Johnny
