It has been a whirlwind week for one of the newest members of the Edmonton Oilers, Connor McDavid.  McDavid was the number one overall pick in the NHL Draft last Friday.

He is probably the most-hyped prospect in the league since Sidney Crosby and will be tasked with helping the Oilers try to reach heights they did as a franchise when Wayne Gretzky was skating.  First on the docket will be just trying to get Edmonton back in the playoffs for the first time since 2006.

McDavid is already in development camp action with the Oilers until Monday.  Friday is the first time fans get to see him skate live with the team opening their camp up at 9:30 a.m.

McDavid first gained acclaim playing minor hockey in the Greater Toronto Hockey League.  He was the 2011-12 GTHL Player of the Year after scoring 79 goals and adding 130 assists.

That strong play earned him an early call-up to the Ontario Hockey League where he suited up for the Erie Otters.  In McDavid’s first season, he was league Rookie of the Year and this past campaign was the Otters’ captain.

The 2014-15 season surprised no one as he put up 120 points and went on to win Canadian Hockey League Player of the Year.  McDavid also led Erie to the OHL Finals and won playoff MVP honors.
