KingAlex Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 As the season looms near we are left to wonder who is going to be the worst team in the league? As a wise man once said. "With great weakness, comes great Connor McJesus." McDavid is only the 4th player to be granted exceptional status and with this type of style, you can see why.Don Cherry has competition! Mcdavid is praised for his excellent speed, vision and 2 way game. These attributes highly resemble a fellow hyped up player named Sidney Crosby. Despite being compared to Crosby, Mcdavid sees himself trying to become more of a Datsyuk or a Toews. Mcdavid has been penciled in as the clear number 1 pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft for years, albeit over the past year a strong competitor in Eichel has challenged him with a strong push for that spot. Here are the rankings of where he is projected to go.Pre-Season Projection: #1Mid-Season Projection: ?Final Projection: ? Mcdavid is possibly the best player to come out of a draft since Tavares or even Crosby. And with that comes a stats tracker that will be updated as much as possible. Last updated: Oct 11 2014 Of course, with a thread about Mcdav...Er i mean McJesus comes discussion about Mcdavid. Feel free to talk about this amazing prospect or to talk about this amazing bust, if you feel that way.Mcdavid's last known Whereabouts: A pair of assists. Is he the next Crosby? Is he the next Diagle? Share your thoughts on Mcdavid in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The hubris of certain Sabres fans cause them to drop to 3rd in the draft and miss both McDavid and Eichel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*VaNcOuVeRCaNuCkS* Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I don't think he is in the same category as Crosby as Sidney was putting up 130+ points when he was in Junior then when he entered the NHL he was still putting up over 100 points a season. If Crosby stayed healthy throughout all his 9 seasons in Pittsburgh he would have 100+ points in every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devoted Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm thinking Ottawa has a good shot at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*VaNcOuVeRCaNuCkS* Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 'cept McDavid could very well get 130+ points this year. Of course he could but until he is putting up 130 + points (Crosby had a 168 point season) and has played a couple seasons in the NHL than you can look back at this question and probably give a more exact answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stizz19 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Mcdavid will probably put up between 120-140 pts this year with Erie if he stays healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saucypass Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Not better than Tavares IMO. But still an elite franchise center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 TBH, I don't see him as a Crosby level, but quite possibly at a Tavares level. Elite franchise centre, who could be a top 5 forward in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Carolina's my 2nd favourite team so while I don't want to see them be the losers of the league, I'm definitely excited about the fact that McDavid may fall into their laps.

avelanch Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 you guys DO know that all 14 non-playoff teams have a shot at getting McDavid with the new draft rules... right? Conspiracy theorists would say that McDavid will go to whichever non-playoff team the NHL wants him to go to, regardless of their finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Carolina's my 2nd favourite team so while I don't want to see them be the losers of the league, I'm definitely excited about the fact that McDavid may fall into their laps. With Staal and now Skinner out for a while it wouldn't be a far stretch for them to end up near the bottom. I personal would like Arizona to with the draft lottory this year.

Spotted Zebra Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I really hope he ends up on Nashville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingAlex Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 I really hope he ends up on Nashville That would be a good team for him. Their offense sucks so he can have quality ice time. They've got high quality defense. And a world class goalie. Their fanbase isn't half bad, but they need more fans. If he goes to Nashville I wouldn't be surprised if he flourishes and wins a cup within a matter of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks1219 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Absolutely ripping it up with Dylan Strome. 4 point night (2g, 2a, +4) in a 8-3 beat down on Kitchener. Strome, another 2015 draft eligible player (and younger brother of Ryan Strome), had 3 assists and was also +4. Connor McDavid 5GP 7G 9A 16PTS 8PIM +11 Dylan Strome 5GP 1G 15A 16PTS 0PIM +11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
