from Stan Fischler at the Hockey News,
Do you believe that Connor McDavid wants to spend the rest of his hockey-playing life in Edmonton? I don't.
Did Wayne Gretzky? No. The Great One loved L.A.
Did Mark Messier? No. He loved New York.
Or, recent Hall of Famer Kevin Lowe? No again. (See Mess)

You'd think he'd tell his battery of agents, marketeers and assorted other reps something akin to "Enough already! Get me outa here!"
