hard to say, but I hope not

 

[Seanaconda]

Third year ? Nope

 

[Goodbahd]

You're getting WAY ahead of yourself. It's only his third year, he's 21.

 

[Mr Hockey]

He is too good to not win at least one cup single handedly.

 

[BlackDogg]

Some people need some hockey to watch to keep their imagination from going wild.

You're getting WAY ahead of yourself. It's only his third year, he's 21.

Is Rasmus Dahlin going to be 40 before he gets traded and wins a cup Ray Bourque style? Discuss.

 

[GodEmperor]

Yeah he should just retire, the whole Hockey thing isn't working out, maybe he can be a caterpillar historian or something.

 

[LemonSauceD]

relocate the franchise!

 

[BlackDogg]

The McDavid thread merger will be busy this year.

 

[Panthera]

Will Nico Hischier be doomed to go down in history as one of the biggest wastes of potential in NHL history after he decides at age 22 that he'd rather be a history professor and retires from hockey?!

 

[izzy]

hard to say but yea absolutely

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

For sure. Nobody has ever went on to win a Cup after not winning one by their third year in the league.

 

[DaGap]

If he stays with the Oilers you will be correct

 

[Zuluss]

Dionne: 1 Art Ross, 0 Harts in 18 seasons
McDavid: 2 Art Ross, 1 Hart in 3 seasons

So, no.

 

[Sky04]

Stupid thread, he's only 3 years in.

 

[Revelation]

[Oilers Propagandist]

Why? Because Oilers missed the playoffs? Oil will get back, summer down people.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

McDavid already has more hardware than Dionne.

 

[karnige]

lol hes 21...... talk to me in a decade

 

[Varan]

impossible to predict the future, can't be all doom and gloom with such a talent, on the other hand we don't know

 

[Sniper99]

Bad management, great talent, lots of points but no cup.

Or are some HF posters just out to lunch? Most likely.

The guy is 21. Why are we sweating over this right now, thinking hes the next Dionne. Hes not.

 

[DanM]

Dionne: 1 Art Ross, 0 Harts in 18 seasons
McDavid: 2 Art Ross, 1 Hart in 3 seasons

So, no.

Ummmmm Dionne has 731 career goals and almost 2000 points LOL

He just happened to play when 99 owned the league

One can only dream of having half the career Marcel Dionne had

My goodness people

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Dionne: 1 Art Ross, 0 Harts in 18 seasons
McDavid: 2 Art Ross, 1 Hart in 3 seasons

So, no.

You skirted the question, it was about Cups not Art Ross awards and Harts...Dionne is one of the NHL's most historical point producers and even with his talent could not win a cup because of bad management...McDavid seems to be in the same conundrum.

I believe they had the "Triple Crown Line" much better than anything Oilers have today and they still couldn't win it.
