There are many justified reasons why Connor McDavid has widely been considered the best up-and-coming prospect since Sidney Crosby. The Canadian center made Canada’s World Junior Team as a 15-year-old and got an exception to play in the OHL early, just like Sid the Kid.
On Friday during a World Junior Championship camp game against the Czechs, McDavid showed exactly why he’s so highly touted, going end to end and splitting the defensemen for a beautiful forehand-backhand-forehand breakaway goal.
