but why isn't he on the roadtrip? I know he's not playing but I thought he wanted to stick with the team?
Sure he has a pretty exhaustive rehab hes going through to get himself ready for a return at some point.

The thought of McDavid, Hall and Drasaitl among our top six is just scary, scary good.
McDavid has been back skating since before the Rangers game.

I didn't know where else to put this and I didn't see it on the site ever (or I just missed it). As this is the McDavid thread, I thought I'd pop it here. It's a comparison of McDavid's & Gretzky's first career NHL goals. It's kinda cool to see the similarities in their celebration.
All along my prediction was he would be back boxing day. I hope I'm still right!
player on the team
sorry, but how would this NOT have been reported by the media? mcdavid is the most famous person in the city, and there are people or media at every rink at all times... unless mcdavid was flying into some remote northern rink, lol, i fail to see how him skating wouldn't have made the news

There are many private rinks

With Bob Nicholson and Chiarelli at the helm I won't be surprised if he has been skating for a bit and they can keep that under wraps. Again, based on body language and interview something to me felt off on how far he was away based on the Rangers game. I think mid-January at the latest to be honest, and that is them being extra careful.
What felt off to me in his last interview during the Rangers game was that our bff Gene didn't ask him about his timeline or anything

yikes.. thats way too early... Mid January is the expected return IMO.. Oiler might just be on the safe side and sit him out til after the AllStar break.
McDavid himself mentioned 30-35 more games this season after his retrun in an interview which puts him in around mid Jan.
