When the Edmonton Oilers selected Connor McDavid in the draft, it was evident that they were acquiring a gifted talent. However, McDavid has exceeded all expectations in his career, emerging as the NHL's most prominent star.
McDavid has already garnered several accolades, including his fifth Art Ross Trophy and first Rocket Richard Trophy this season. His five Art Ross Trophy wins put him on par with NHL Hall of Famers Phil Esposito and Jaromir Jagr, and he's only one win away from tying Mario Lemieux and Mr. Hockey Gordie Howe for second place in all-time Art Ross victories.
At only 26 years old, McDavid has ample opportunity to catch up to Wayne Gretzky, the Great One, who holds the record for the most Art Ross Trophies with ten.
