The Oilers suck bad and I think he's done what he needs to do generally. Put MacKinnon on the Oilers and I think they're in the same position. Put McDavid on Colorado and they're just as good.
Not a chance, IMO.

Colorado is deep with talent, no question. But the primary reason that they are as good as they are is that their best player leads by example, and carries them to a higher level.

McDavid NEVER does that. He makes incredible individual plays, but he doesn't elevate his teammates anywhere nearly as much as MacKinnon does.
