Wayne Gretzky anoints Oilers star Connor McDavid the next great one: 'He's the best player in hockey'

Connor McDavid is arguably the brightest star in the NHL.

The Edmonton Oilers captain is a four-time NHL All-Star.

He's also a prolific scorer, winning the Art Ross Trophy five times as the player leading the NHL in regular-season points.

McDavid also shares similarities with hockey legend Wayne Gretzky. McDavid and Gretzky are the only two players to be named the NHL MVP by unanimous vote. While Gretzky is often referred to as "The Great One," he believes McDavid is the greatest active NHL player.
