Connor McDavid ranks #1 in TSN's top 50 players
Breaking news in Oil Country as Connor McDavid has been ranked #1 in TSN's prestigious top 50 NHL players .
It's that time of the year again - TSN has come out with their annual top 50 NHL player rankings and yet again, Connor McDavid has emerged victorious. Realistically, this one comes as no real shock to hockey fans around the world.
Connor McDavid has proven himself to be the worlds most elite talent on the ice on a yearly basis. He continues to push the envelope every season, seemingly finding new ways to achieve new personal milestones.
As per TSN, Voters were asked to project the Top 50 players in the league for the 2024-25 season. McDavid was the No. 1 choice on 20 of 20 ballots in TSN tabulations.
Meanwhile, any doubts about McDavid that arose during a goal-challenged 2023-24 regular season were eroded by 100 assists and erased by a record-setting 34 more in the playoffs - earning him the Conn Smythe Trophy.
If he can tally 18 in fewer than 11 games, McDavid will surpass Mike Bossy (656) and reach the millennium mark in the third fewest games behind Wayne Gretzky (424) and Mario Lemieux (513). Just as McDavid is the definitive choice for No. 1 this season, Colorado captain Nathan MacKinnon is the virtually uncontested pick for No. 2. He was listed second on 19 of 20 ballots.
The only thing missing in Connor McDavid's impressive resume is a Stanley Cup. The Oilers captain has his eyes on the prize this year, and the Oilers have been named NHL favourites to take home lord Stanley.
