It is like when I say Bill Russell is the 2nd most overrated sports figure of all time. I don't mean he wasn't a great player. But putting his name into the GOAT hat is absurd to me.

I apologize for not being more clear in my initial response - I think McDavid's the best in the NHL now, not all time. My bad on that one, sorry.
Career wise there's a number of players I'd put ahead of him, but I'll reserve opinion on where he stands on the all time list until after he's done playing. He's 28, so probably has a few of years to go yet.
Also let's not forget he was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as top playoff performer last year. In 96 career playoff games he has 150 pts.
