Basically they call McDavid a great leader because they really really want him to be one. Which is pitiful. I'd like to know where he stands in fitness testing, or whether he talks much in the locker room, or organizes off ice stuff. I think the fact they never crow about his fitness results means he's average at best. You always heard about Iggy and you always hear about Gio in fitness results. Has McDavid ever chewed out a slacking player? Has he ever had a heart to heart with a guy who's down on himself?
I would have given McDavid props if he'd done what Sid did when first offered the captaincy.
