Sometimes people (Pinder) talk about McDavid being one of the all time great offensive players.
I suppose that's true in 2025... but then I think about some of the great offensive players from earlier eras. And I think about THOSE players having to play against Scott Stevens.
I find myself wondering... how would McDavid fare against those sorts of players? Maybe he would be like Gretzky or Lemieux and be slippery enough to avoid it.
Then again... maybe he'd be Paul Kariya or Eric Lindros.
But it probably shouldn't be anointed within that pantheon of all time greats in this no-hit pu-sy fest that is the NHL in the modern era.
