2015 Draft - 1st pick: Connor McDavid

[Xelebes]

Not sure who this is but from what I've seen, he needs some work. We won't see him on the ice for at least a couple years.

 

[Paralyzer]

WTF Where is Mustafa?!?!?! Who's this McDavid kid? I CALL BUST!

 

[Samus44]

Good...

 

[Soundwave]

Any info on this kid? And why does he already have a Canadian Tire TV commercial?

 

[HallOfGreatness4]

Now the question is - do you guys think he is in St. Louis opening night from day one?

Magic 8 ball says yes, second line

 

[Tyrolean]

Hockey is a team sport. Does anyone think the current management group can build a good team around him? Time will tell.

Future core of… HELL ya!!!

Hall - McDavid - Eberle
Draisaitl - RNH - Yakupov

Nurse - Klefbom
Reinhart - XXX
XXX - Schutlz

Who? Sounds like a reach to me :sarcasm

Who is the first overall pick.

 

[BlowbyBlow]

I got to say it because no one will Katz son probably never learned any etiquette in his life. For christs sakes son let Chiarelli get in the pic with Mcdavid. Man I would beat that kid hahah

 

[Del Preston]

McDavid has already changed his Twitter bio to "Edmonton Oiler #97".

[HallOfGreatness4]

Wonder if we will hear tales of Hall, Eberle and company dragging him to bars next fall

 

[Arpeggio]

This should be at the top of the page. My god the Oilers got the best prospect in at least ten years. I mean come on people, be a little happy.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Seriously two pages

 

[Frank the Tank]

I cannot wait to see McDavid and Hall skating by defenders who look slow by comparison.

 

[OnTheBrink]

Regardless of what happened today Oiler's come out biggest winner we have Connor ####ing McDavid...

Don't even bother. Who cares about McDavid, we traded two magic beans away.

 

[Paralyzer]

I overheard a rumor that Ryan Smyth offered to give him a room at his place. If so, I'd be ok with that

 

[CanadianDestroyer]

Now the question is - do you guys think he is in St. Louis opening night from day one?

Assuming he is healthy: absolutely.

 

[Bangers]

There's not too much more to say about him than we already have in the thousands of thread pages since the lottery.

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

Seriously two pages

I think everything's already been said leading up to the draft - at this point it's probably more just relief that they made the pick they were supposed to

 

[Hoodaha]

WTF Where is Mustafa?!?!?! Who's this McDavid kid? I CALL BUST!

Why oh why didn't they take Barzal instead of McDavid?!?!?

The 1st overall threads are always small. The pick is a sure thing.

Welcome to the Oilers, Connor.

I'm sure a hockey obsessed kid like him reads the board

 

[booyakasha]

Anybody else feel uneasy about that KAtz clip welcoming Connie?

Also, why was Katz's kid standing next to him and not Chia when selected?

Yup, that scripted 'welcome' was so horribly fake and certainly left at least two of us with a bad impression. This is one of the times Katz should have remained silent and faded in the background scenery... but I doubt that would have appeased his inner fanboy ego.
