Yeah people are too paranoid. Until he puts that jersey on, some people are going to feel that way.
They had a player just sit on him and follow him everywhere and the double teamed him if he stopped for a second lack of depth lost this series not mcdavid... If a team does that in the nhl hall will laugh his way to goalsIts because Cassels outplayed McDavid by quite a margin in the OHL final. If McDavid had a better series and his team still lost most people wouldn't have a problem with him getting the Wayne Gretzky trophy. Usually the player who plays the best in the final series gets that award.

Dude was 2 points away from tying the OHL playoff scoring record. Anyone who thought he wasn't going to win the MVP regardless of who won the series was kidding themselves.

The Oilers should do the same thing Colorado did and say they're picking McDavid. No more awkward "if they take me, blah blah". His playoffs are done, just say you're taking him.

Why? They're taking him. They can't sell official merchandise until he's drafted (I believe), it keeps other GMs on their toes, and it builds suspense for the draft (even though there really is none).
Plus, even though it's highly unlikely that McD pulls a Lindros, nobody wants to look like Marcel Aubut did when he drafted a player that refused to play for his franchise.
The kid had just finished his junior playoffs, Chiarelli will interview him and make sure him, his agent, and the organization are on the same page, and draft him.
I didn't see it, but from the quote I would gather he meant that it's up to the team that drafts him if he plays in the NHL, and it's up to him to prove he is ready.
