He's not really a guy that can elevate his game. His game just is what it is. He's fast, he can make moves, but he can't adapt his game.

I think claiming him to be the most overrated player is way too hyperbolic - but I'll just leave it at that because I am also aware this is the E=NG thread and don't want to ruin the fun.
But there's definitely truth to the bolded. Any team legitimately planning on acquiring McDavid should have been watching that Oilers team closely over the past few seasons and taking notes on how
not to build a roster around McDavid, and start trying to acquire some of those complimentary pieces on July 1 of this year.
