McDavid is an average or below center in his own zone and takes half as many draws as other 1Cs and is below average at that.
Crosby excelling at both of those aspects of the game and his winning acumen should probablg put him ahead. I see Connor as a really really strong single dimensional player, but that doesn't win you a lot of games as evidence has shown so far in his career. Maybe Tippett gets him to be more responsible but seeing how top players are not held accountable in Edmonton by the org or media I don't see him rounding out his game like Crosby has any time soon.
