How to stop Connor McDavid -- or at least, delay the inevitable

Connor McDavid is inevitable.

"He's that good. You turn on the TV every night. If the Oilers played, you're going to get a McDavid highlight, somehow and some way," Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice said.

The Edmonton Oilers' star treated the NHL's 56-game regular season sprint like most of us treat vacation luggage: Cramming absolutely everything he could fit into a limited space. He had 105 points in 56 games, including 33 goals. That's 21 points better than his teammate and frequent linemate Leon Draisaitl, last season's most valuable player.
