McDavid is one of four plays leading their respective division for captaincy votes. He joins the ranks of Patrick Kane, Carey Price and Sidney Crosby.
The 19-year-old is leading the NHL with 34 points this season and has been helping the Oilers to better standings so far this year. With him leading the league in assists and being one of the NHL’s top players, McDavid’s leading votes are obvious.
Overall, this is great news for the Oilers. Having a player of this calibre on the team is great for their prominence in the NHL.
