The guys discuss McDavid’s chances of reaching the 200-point plateau, if he has any Hart Trophy competition so far, and if he’s truly the most skilled player to ever play the game. Plus, the Panthers becoming the first team in NHL history to record at least one natural hat trick in 3 straight games, Brady Tkachuk’s return to Ottawa for the first time on Wednesday night, the latest on Connor Hellebuyck’s situation with the Jets, and excellent starts to the season for Jake Oettinger and Linus Ullmark.
