Connor McDavid has established himself as one of the top players in the NHL the past 5 seasons since being drafted #1 overall by the Edmonton Oilers in 2015, and the start to the 2019/20 season continues to show that. The 22-year-old Oilers center is off to scorching start tallying 17 points in the Oilers first 7 games of the season including a 5-point performance last night at home against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Oilers captain tallied 4 assists and 1 highlight reel goal to secure the 6-3 victory. The 5-point performance Wednesday night put McDavid in elite company joining Mario Lemieux and former Oilers great Wayne Gretzky as the only players in the last 26 years to record 17 or more points through their first 7 games of the season. Although this pace might be hard to keep up, McDavid is on track to have a 200-point season which has only been done 4 times in NHL history. All 4 by none other than the great one Wayne Gretzky. McDavid will look to continue his hot start when the Detroit Red Wings come to town tomorrow night.

Conor McDavid’s market is still being formed when each massive game he has. By seasons end, he could be in the conversation with Mike Trout’s MLB market. McDavid is the best in his sport and has his best days ahead of him. Playing in Edmonton may not be the best situation for his stardom but with some of the performances he has put up at 22 years old, the sky is the limit. Our expert recommendation is to get in the game now. Those who invest early in these transcendent stars typically make it out on top if they are looking to flip product. Start the collection small with a signed McDavid photo or an All Star Puck. Slowly but surely you can add to the collection with a framed jersey of #97.
