I would think so, Peter. McDavid's skill and speed is through the roof to the likes of what we have never seen before.
When prior players like Gretzky, Lemieux and Orr all say the same thing about him and just shake their heads in amazement, it is undeniable he is an elite, one of kind, rare type of player.
If he manages to win a few cups or manages to play on a better skilled, more deeper skilled team sometime, the potential for him to be in the top 2-3 all time is there, imo.
With time marching on, however, and if the Oilers don't improve their squad significantly, we may all be denied to see what might have been, unfortunately.
