LeBron James in our sport? 

Post#1 » by GRADEN » Mon Oct 27, 2014 3:20 am

Weird title for a hockey board? Definitely... But I really want to hammer home something here: Connor McDavid. This is a Sid Crosby draft guys. Over the last decade we have had CLEAR number 1s whom have turned out to be stars... Tavares / Hall / Stamkos / Yakupov / RNH / Kane..... All of those guys were clear stars at 16-18 and easy number 1s.... All are star players..... But NOTHING like this kid.... He will be LeBron James, Mario, Jagr, etc.... He will be a guy around a 100 pts before his 21st...

209 pts 2 seasons ago... Don't care what league / how old / how lucky etc... It's 209 pts!

Philly would be a perfect fit.

He looks like the next mega star. Haven't seen him play other than youtube highlights, but he looks like a powerful, smooth scorer and excellent playmaker.

In most of the vids I've seen the kid is 16. I think he's still only 17 years old. Unbelievable.

I haven't seen any footage of this kid, but the way people are talking about him almost makes me wish we had a chance at landing the #1 pick.
