Connor McDavid: Is Oilers’ Prospect “The Next One?”

We see it year after year. Each year in June, the Edmonton Oilers get to choose a high first-round pick. Most of the time, it’s one of the top three picks, or just the first pick overall. However, although seeming to be great, they stumble and fail to excel past their expectations.

We’ve all heard his name. Connor McDavid. The kid has yet to play one shift in the NHL, yet he is a household name, a fan favorite and is nicknamed “The Next One.” Oh, and he’s only 18 years old.
