10 Players That Will Definitely Be Upgraded In NHL 18

You know a player has had a truly outstanding season when some of the main highlights of his peers is that they somewhat, kinda came close to matching Connor McDavid’s point totals. The newest face of the league and next big generational megastar more than delivered on his immense promise, blowing out established superstars Patrick Kane and Sidney Crosby to win the scoring title in only his second NHL season, with 100 points in a titanic 30 goal, 70 assist campaign.

The newest Oilers captain and all-time youngest ever player to wear the C, McDavid was the primary reason for Edmonton’s long-awaited return to the playoffs after a decade in the basement, with his blazing speed the single biggest danger for opponents in every single game.

McDavid’s utter dominance this past year was uncontested, as he raked in league MVP and Ted Lindsay honours along with the first scoring title of an expected many in his career.

As the cover athlete of NHL 18, set to terrorise the league for years as a perennial Art Ross favourite, McDavid will see his previous 88 overall rating skyrocket to make him one of the single best players in the entire game, reflecting his status as the undisputed most exciting talent in the league.
