People will say whatever they will, and I hate the losers from Edmonton as much as anyone, but doesn’t change how ridiculously good McDavid is.
On Makar, he’s a great player, but it feels like he can be pressured in his end into errors/turnovers more than you would see out of HOF defenseman in their prime (for more recent comps say Lidstrom or Niedermayer). Again, I’m acknowledging he’s not yet in his prime, I’m saying he will likely improve. But where things stand RIGHT NOW, he has some real flaws in his own end game IMO, so he’s definitely not the NHL’s best player RIGHT NOW.

are you suggesting McDavid doesn't have any flaws in his game? maybe he should learn to play D too
if it truly wasn't even close McDavid would have won something in his life
