I know it’s a Flames forum so I really shouldn’t be surprised, but there is no reality in which Connor McDavid isn’t the best player in the world. None. Zero. I know we’ve all been conditioned to nitpick his game, and I agree that Crosby in his prime was a better player, but as it stands today there is nobody even close to him. MacKinnon included.

1. McDavid
2. MacKinnon
3. Crosby
4. Matthews
5. Panarin

I think there’s a clear top three and after that it’s debatable. But McDavid not at #1 is just a laughable take at this point. He is easily my least favourite player in the league but not admitting he’s the best player in the game is something I won’t do.

The really overrated guy on the Oilers is Draisaitl. Dude is not even close to being in the same realm as those guys.
