Connor McDavid inserted himself into the best player in the world conversation last season after he racked up a ton of hardware (including MVP) and led the Oilers to the second round of the playoffs.
Wednesday night, McDavid reminded the world why the best player in the world argument is up for debate as he recorded a hat trick against the Flames and showed off his incredible ability on multiple occasions.

McDavid completes hat trick into empty net, passing Arnott and tying Hall & Carson for 2nd by this criteria. Most: 167 (!!!)- Wayne Gretzky https://t.co/9POZqnRLHq

The best part about hockey being back is watching Connor McDavid. It's his world, we're just living in it.

They need to make a new league for Mcdavid. Clearly the NHL isn't sufficient competition for him

Mcdavid is going to score every goal for the oilers this year
