1st Round Summary

Edmonton Oilers - 1st Round (1st Overall): C Connor McDavid (Erie, OHL)

Name: Connor McDavid
Team/League: Erie/OHL
Position: Center
Shoots: Left
Height/Weight: 6’1″ 195 lbs
Born: January 13, 1997, Newmarket, Ontario
Central Scouting Rankings (Prelim/Mid/Final): “A” / 1st NA /1st NA
Scouting Report: Brilliant, graceful and imaginative offensive machine who has produced one of the finest amateur resumes in recent memory. Hard to convey his dominance in words; you just have to watch him play one shift and it will encompass all the reasons why he’s a special talent. McDavid is an explosive skater with breakaway speed, but his balance and ability to control the puck at the highest of speeds is unmatched in this draft. He is also extremely shifty and can change gears effortlessly, especially to the outside. One of the best players in the world at any level at chipping and retrieving the puck to an open area, then turning it into a high-quality scoring chance. Is an elite playmaker who makes hard, crisp passes on both forehand and backhand. Extremely difficult to contain and seal off, McDavid is a highly-intelligent player who can outwork and outmaneuver any opposing shadow or checking assignment.
