He's been one of the worst players in the NHL for 3 seasons running aside from a blip at the start of Vegas' first season.
Whether this is another blip, whether it's a matter of McDavid being just that freaking good, or whether he was that out of shape that a summer of actual training revitalized him this much remains to be seen.
It couldn't be that conversion rates have swung the other way for him?
And as has been said previous: For him to be judged as "one of the worst players in the NHL for the past 3 seasons", there has to be range modifiers for how well he produces. There has to be an accounting of positive and negative attributes by degree. No one has done this to this point.
Otherwise, a mucker that simply saws off a 4th line shift can be said to be better than Neal --> It just doesn't hold.
