Yeah, I'm an Oiler hater, that shouldn't be a surprise.


But I bristle at the over use of generational tags for players, it seems in every draft fans are applying that tag to a player.



I'm in the park where McDavid is a super star, but I'm still not sold on him as Generational. His game without the puck is a joke, his face off ability is a joke, his ability to win corner battles is a joke because he refuses to go there. He's to me a bit lazy during the game, and not working on improving aspects of his game that he needs.


He's been in that dumpster fire for years, and outside of a thump on a shoulder and a lets go, I don't see that much "Lets follow the Connor, he's our leader" picture.



He's awesome with the puck, he's blindingly fast, he's got great offensive instincts, he's the best offensive player in the league, but he doesn't really make that team all that much better. He does though drag Draisaitl's dead a$$ around like a expert.



Would I gut my teams now and future for him? Probably not.
