I couldn't care less. McDavid can win as many Cups as he wants.

Just not with the Oilers.

*With LA, New York, or even while not preferred, Toronto.

I don't understand why people root for a guy with no personality who has child-like tantrums in the dressing room though.

Don't care if he's talented, that alone's not enough reason to be personally vested in seeing him succeed.

It’s not a McDavid thing, it’s an Oilers thing.

Would be great to see him and what he could do on a competent franchise.

Not one that’s a total joke, in a pathetic city filled with inbred losers.

I wouldn't mind seeing McDavid win a cup but with a condition.

Against the Oilers

Beating Dumpsaitl and his former (likely very bitter) team and fans?

When McDavid leaves, we could make a collective team at CP that would have the same chance of the Oilers making the finals. Zero.

Hating the Oilers isn't something you can turn off and on like a switch. Someone who is Forever a Flame should know that.

Let me guess, Spector asked Nieuwendyk directly about Connor McDavid or the Oilers winning a cup because he has nothing else to talk about.

Niewendick needs to shut his pie hole. He should be the most hated Flame in history!

McDavid is far and away the most overrated hockey player of all time. Why does he have to be talked about so much?

Didn't he hold out and refuse to report when he had a valid contract but wanted to renegotiate it? Or was that Gilmour... I get the scenarios mixed up.

Yes. Both, kinda. Back in those days renegotiating contracts with term was a thing. Risebrough promised both Gilmour and Nieuwendyk that they would get new contracts and he didn't deliver on either.


Gilmour was upset with negotiations and sat out and was traded 39 seconds later. Nieuwendyk just held out before the last year of his contract began.

The NHL needs to show some guts and determine Brett Hull's OT winner should not have counted. Take away Nieuwy's Conn Smythe as a result.
