Edmonton Oilers celebrate Connor McDavid's 1000th career point
Tonight the Edmonton Oilers celebrated McDavid's 1000th point with a pregame ceremony as well.
McDavid's family joined him on ice as he was presented with a speciality stick for his achievements, along with several other gifts, and he earned a long ovation from the Oilers crowd.
McDavid received a flower bouquet from Leon Draisaitl, a custom Rolex watch, a charitable donation to the Ben Stelter Foundation, a Diamond from the NHL, and more.
Since being drafted 1st overall in 2016, McDavid has surpassed every expectation to be a generational superstar for the Oilers. Tonight the Oilers will celebrate 1000, but 2000 career points isn't off the table, and a Hall of Fame celebration will be the bookend to his career.
McDavid hasn't talked about his contract negotiations with the Oilers throughout the year, as he's eligible to sign an extension at the end of this year. Recently though, he said he's only interested in winning, and he's got a good chance of that in Edmonton.
Tonight was one small opportunity to step back and appreciate the greatness of McDavid's career to this point. Here's to many more years in Edmonton!
