Over the past few months it has occurred to me that I most NHL leaders have been waiting for a guy like McDavid. They dont have to be captain anymore of team North America, All star team or any other fake important team where being the leader just means you have to talk to the media more than anyone else. Likewise, whenever you play the Oilers, you just need to point out that he is the best player in the world and the pressure is instantly off you. Almost every interview of great players (Mathews being the exception that has highlighted the trend in this case) points to McDavid. The sad part is that Oilers fans are so desperate for their crap hole of a franchise to be relevant that they just eat this up...
E=NG and there is no doubt that if McDavid doesn't leave in the next couple of years his career will be NG also as he is missing out on critical development time in an atmosphere where that is fostered.
