Connor McCaptain

Connor McDavid has been named the youngest Captain in NHL history and the 15th captain for the Oilers. This wasn't really a big surprise , but I'm still happy to see it finally happen. There is nobody else on the team that truly deserves it so McDavid is the right choice. The alternate captains are Jordan Eberle, Milan Lucic, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. That wasn't too much of a surprise either. I found this amazing video the Oilers posted so click the link to watch it because it is actually really cool. https://www.nhl.com/oilers/video/the-history-of-oilers-captains/t-277437406/c-45091603 Other news about the Oilers is that they have been reportedly talking about a trade with the Blackhawks involving former first overall pick Nail Yakapov for some prospects, just a heads up. Also the NHL season is 5 days away! the preseason has been good, but the wait is over in less than a week! Was this the right choice? Will McDavid be a good captain? Will the Oilers trade away Nail Yakapov? stay tuned....
