In 2015, after McDavid was drafted, McLean did promise a cup for the Oilers within two year, or at the latest 4.

Hockey Night in Canada host Ron MacLean, an interview with Sportsnet on the playoff chances of the Edmonton Oilers in 2015-16 now that phenom Connor McDavid is on the team: “Fantastic. I think for sure playoffs. I tell you who’s going to be lights-out this year is Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall… You watch Eberle take off. He’s already been great in international hockey, but I think this is going to be his year, Taylor Hall’s year.

“And Connor McDavid and Darnell Nurse will fit in. Gimme a glass of wine or a beer, and I think in two years they win the Cup. That may be a little eager, but I don’t think more than four.”

Shut the #### up Ron
