C Connor McDavid - Erie Otters, OHL (2015 Draft) III

[Halfy]

Got the name changed in preparation to accept our future lord and saviour.

Oilers do suck. but Buffalo fans "We suck more". Canes fans, "all of our star players are injured and we suck anyways".

 

[Patmac40]

If I were Connor I'd be getting worried about the possibility of getting drafted by the Oilers. I can't imagine he'd actual do it, but if the Oilers get the #1 pick it would be wise of him to pull a Lindros and refuse to play there.

He's been quoted as saying that he doesn't believe in that philosophy. He would never do it.

 

[Keke]

Didn't McDavid just told the media about how he didn't like players "choosing" their teams (N.Roy, Fabbro although he seems to take the NCAA route)

There's not a team in the league he'd do that to.

Right?! If he were drafted to the Oilers and he turned them around the legend of McDavid would be set in stone.

Heck, He came to Erie to play. He would go anywhere in the NHL im sure

People should stop joking about Edmonton and McDavid.

It's going to happen and then it will be a long dark decade for every other team.

 

[TheGuyInTheChair]

Eakins is going to ruin him.

No. 1 picks ≠ Success. Example...oh right, Edmonton.

Just remember that even if the Oilers finish last their draft lottery odds of securing the first overall pick is 20%

Would you put money on your bold prediction that "its going to happen"?

What the Oilers need is to get Noah Hanifin.

Everyone's saying Carolina will be there at the bottom but I'm not ready to say that yet.

Their goaltending has been horrible but it should rebound.

Skinner and E. Staal will return soon.

They're not a good team, but they're not horrible either.

Wasn't the same thing said about Hall...and RNH...and Yakupov...one of these times it has to change things right?

 

[leafsfuture]

First off, McDavid is a much better player at his age than Yakupov, Hall and RNH.

Second, Edmonton isnt winning now for the same reason they werent winning before -- defense, depth, strenght down the middle

None of their forwards has any idea how to play a lick of defense and McDavid doesn't change that. This isn't the 80's where you can out score an inept defense.

Saw this on LHH and thought it was hilarious, the Connor McDavid Power Rankings...

Most star forwards dont know how to play D. The teams have just done a marvelous job surrounding them with players that can play good D. Oilers just thought they can tank their way to a Cup and that was wrong.

You think Patrick Kane knows how to play defense?

Pfft the Oilers could draft McDavid, Eichel, and Hanifin and they wouldn't contend in the next 10 years.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

McDavid with 2 more points tonight

 

[Halfy]

Can't remember who said it earlier.... but he could honestly go the entire season scoring a point in EVERY game (ok, well, maybe ONE pointless game). Dang.

I got crap for saying he won't go a game without scoring atleast one point.

You likely just jinxed him.

 

[ponder]

If he plays a full season, he'll certainly go pointless in multiple games. It's been 8 games so far, not 50.

Definitely, but he should also have a few 4/5 point nights, which would cancel out his pointless games.

This kid is going to make hockey pun headline writers so happy. McDavid gets a McDouble! (2g) McDavid gets a McDouble-Double! (2g2a) Just add Mc to anything, the possibilities are endless!
