The draft day hype machine has grown so exponentially over the years that it has become nearly impossible for a young prospect to live up to his billing.

Then there is Connor McDavid, who exceeded his.

McDavid went into the Edmonton Oilers’ season finale Sunday with 98 points, yet among 18,347 fans at Rogers Place in Edmonton, there were likely 18,000 who would have bet their mortgage on McDavid having a two-point night.

He did it in style, waiting until late in the second period to collect an assist, then getting the second on a Leon Draisaitl goal at 1:50 of the third period, lifting the roof off the arena.
