So a clear tier below the generational type of talent that McDavid is.
Of course he has many years ahead of him, but the point is, it is stunning that Edmonton hasn't been able to get close with him and Leon on the team.
It's a remarkable level of failure. And must be incredibly frustrating as a fan.

the other thing is that a lot of these guys- as pointed out- eventually at least made a finals (and of course there is still time for you know who)
Perreault took a near expansion team there in year 5 before his team getting stuck behind the Habs and Isles for the rest of his prime
Iggy and Kipper dragged Shean Donovan et al there
Oates a few times eventually
but Dionne, man. never even made it to the Semis I don't think, despite retiring was it 2nd overall in scoring when he hung them up?
