Confirmed with Link: McDavid signs 8-year, $100M extension ($12.5M AAV)
- Thread starter Del Preston
- Start date
From the 3:40 mark on that video you can see like 2-3 goals involving McDavid + Nugent Hopkins ... we really, really need to try that combo IMO.
In the few times they have done it, it seems to me like they've scored several times.

Well the runner up for Art Ross averages 88 points during the last four seasons. McDavid would beat that nine straigth years and do it with a healthy margin for eigth.
His best years would be 35% higher than the #2. He would also have six Art Rosses with higher than 20% winning margin, something that Crosby has achieved 0 times.
A consistent resume such as that could very well put him above Mario Lemieux in the all-time rankings sense.
Of course this doesn't factor that there are going to be players other than McDavid hitting significantly above that 88 points in some years, like Kane did recently. And there could be another generational talent who hits 100 points consistently as well.

Yeah. I've seen people on the mains calling McDavid's shot average. He has a good shot, just needs to use it more.

Oh McDavid...missed watching you play.
Filthy. I think he scores 40 this year and starts shooting more. That puck control on that highlight is classic McDavid. How that kid controls the puck on a string with his feet and hands moving at hyper speed and is still able to slow the game down in his mind will never cease to amaze me.

Agreed, it will really screw with goalies because they can no longer cheat on the pass.

Oh my.
I have a feeling he's going to be even better this year.
But...but...the Flames picked up Travis Hamonic and Mike Smith...
Yeah, I don't see mcDavid breaking through that top 3/5 Nashville clone D as easy as last year...
Now that Gulutins (don't care for the correct spelling) system is down pat, they should be a top 3 NHL team. I mean, screw circus time, they were unstoppable past January last year.
Even the goaltending, that apparently did them in all year, saved their bacon and got them on a hot streak to get back in the playoffs.
Yup...scary indeed. Scarier is the fact that he knows exactly what he needs to improve on and does just that. Improve on it. It's quite incredible, even seen through the eyes of a Gretzky era fan here!
Looking forward to the upcoming year here!

Wasn't even fair. He was toying with that defenceman
Umm, no they were not. Pretty sure the Ducks embarrassed them.
Don't get me wrong here, they have what appears on paper anyway to be one of the top defensive teams in the league but they will not go very far with Crying Johnny leading their offence. It will take a couple of more years before the Flames realize they need to move him out for them to have great playoff success.
