Video: What will Connor McDavid mean to the Oilers?

A video excerpt from our Edmonton Oilers podcast.

Edmonton Oilers fans are wondering what's next after the National Hockey League club won the draft lottery on Saturday, which gives them the right to select Connor McDavid — the wondrous 18-year-old centre who racked up 44 goals and 120 points in a mere 47 games for his junior Erie Otters team — in June’s entry draft.

Some have even compared McDavid to Wayne Gretzky, who told the Journal he was rooting for the kid to break his records.

This week Journal hockey writer Jim Matheson discusses what the phenom could mean to the Edmonton Oilers.
