I irrationally see red when I hear "best player in the world". It's overhype - any player who's the best in the NHL is the best in the world because no league comes close. But no one was proclaiming Sid or Jarome or Jagr or Mario or even Gretzky were "best in the world" because it just sounds so stupid.
Not to mention you can make a good case against McDavid based on his poor 200 foot game.
