I think he ends up being more comparable to Tavares. Still an amazing player, but not quite the "generational talent" people are saying he is right now.

I tend to agree with this. Perhaps not a generational talent (a word that gets thrown around way too much in hockey circles) but certainly a top end franchise talent.
Is McDavid the best talent to come since Crosby? Probably.
Is/will McDavid the best prospect and player to come since Crosby? That's debatable - Stamkos, Tavares, and MacKinnon are all in that conversation too. It'll be interesting to see if McDavid is able to fully translate his skillset in the NHL.
