McDavid missed 6 weeks during his last season in junior after breaking his hand in a fight. While I don't think a fight and a freak accident prove McDavid is injury prone I do believe his style of play combined with big minutes will result in his body breaking down faster than the average player.
The risk of McDavid breaking down makes the decision to play him 24 minutes in the preseason incredibly stupid. Roll 4 lines and save McDavid to play big minutes in divisional games and the playoffs.
