Edmonton Oilers: McDavid Discusses Possibility of Captaincy

Signs point to him becoming the captain sooner or later. He is the centre of the franchise, and is one of the loudest voices in the locker room, despite his young age. His teammates see him as a leader, and he wants to turn them into a playoff team, and do something the team hasn’t done in 10 years: win. Already, he has become the face of the Oilers, and is on his way to becoming the face of the NHL.

Wayne Gretzky gave McDavid the highest praise, and said that he is ready to handle the captaincy at any time.
