In this season’s player survey, NHLers casted a ballot McDavid as the player they’d need most in their group in the event that you expected to dominate one match, and was underdog (to Brad Marchand) in deciding in favor of player you least prefer to play against. Notoriety could factor into a player vote, thus these outcomes would appear to look good for McDavid here.
