Here's why this kid is the most exciting prospect in years.

If you haven't heard the name Connor McDavid by now you're probably not a hockey fan. He's without question the most exciting draft prospect since current Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, and for good reason. Despite suffering a broken hand earlier this season McDavid continues to tear up the Ontario Hockey League, posting numbers that some of the NHL's best players now couldn't match in their time in the CHL. McDavid is scoring at an incredible rate, registering an unbelievable 2.68 points per game, Crosby in his draft year was at a pace of 2.71 points per game. In McDavid's defense, he was actually ahead of Crosby in the points per game race up until he suffered the broken hand, and his recent tear has him closing the gap. So how exactly does McDavid compare to other former number one overall picks? Here's a break down of the last 6 number one overall picks vs McDavid.
