MacT is available to right that ship, he'll captain a parade of monkeys if it means he can make something special.

Doug Weight was captain.

Norm!

We all know that this is going to lead to even more commercials where we hear Messier's voice on McDavid's email.
Welcome to the captains club Conner (munch munch), we know that you'll lead the oilers back to prominence in their new building (slurp licking fingers sound)
Chip?

McDavid has enough on his plate. They should pick one of their Giordano's.

He seems pretty shy and not very vocal and he's pretty green so from that stand point I don't know if it's a great move but at the same time the kid has insane skill and could be leading the league within a season or two. I suppose it depends what kind of captain your team needs but to me a veteran would probably seem more appropriate for the Oilers.

I don't think this is a problem. For one, they don't have any other candidates. And two, he is used to pressure and the spotlight, and seems to be somewhat of a leader simply by default.
Of all the horrible decisions that franchise makes, this doesn't even make the list IMO.

He seems to hate losing so that already puts him to the front of the line of candidates as you can't give the "C" to any of the career loser core and expect any sort of resolve or culture change.

I heard about this and have to laugh.
"McDavid played well and the rest of the team was complete canine fecal material. We didnt even finish Dead Fataing Last!! He isnt being ruined fast enough, he might even succeed! Succeed! Can you believe that? How can we 'Oiler' this up a bit?
Make him Captain?
Boom....Captain. Brilliant. Sorted."
And so was written the tale of McDavid. Oilers gonna Oil.

They're going to tattoo that on McDavid's ass like a tramp-stamp.
"We own you forever!!"

Just wait until he's named captain of the U-23 team.

You mean 'Team McDavid?'
Not only are they going to make him the Captain they're going to name the team after him and the jerseys are going to look conspicuously similar to Oilers jerseys.

They should name the new arena McDavid's Place.
Sell a McDavid specialty drink complete McDavid's face on every cup. Then name the main road to the arena McDavid Street with banners of his face on every street light.
Actually, can Edmonton apply to legally change their city name to St. McDavid??

McEdmonton.
McIce District
McWest McEdmonton McMall
McFantasyland (also the name of Katz's private theme park).
McWhitemud
McSweatpants and McDress shoes.

Go out to market, trade your first round picks, pay a FA a kings ransom for some down to earth, decent talent player with leadership skills and make them the captain!!!!! Trade away upcoming FAs if needed - you are doomed without the leadership of a vet to groom the younger players.
Do you really want more Taylor Hall's????????

Unfortunately that paper was based on draft pick currency, and that draft pick currency was spent on nepotism and groupthink. As a result, their "on paper" currency has devalued to the level of a 3rd world country.

They should play the entire season with all of the player's jerseys saying 'McDavid.'
Maybe every player. League-wide.
Have they commissioned the McDavid statue outside of McDavid Place yet? Bronze just wont do, it should be made of Gold. And he should be wearing sweatpants.

Pure, solid gold. None of this "gold-plated" BS.

Damned straight.
And one for McDavid place and they have to have an exact solid-gold duplicate to host in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence beside Michelangelo's David.
Theres a new #1 David in town Mike and his name is Mc!
