McDavid was asked about his fellow NHL star ,In an recent interview with Sportsnet. McDavid spoke of rival and off-season friend, Auston Matthews, and about him becoming captain of his hometown hockey team. Not only did McDavid answer the question, he did so with such thoughtful words and gave Matthews a glowing endorsement.
"First and foremost, he's an amazing player, great player, but he's a great person, highly intelligent, loves the game, loves the Leafs," McDavid said at the NHL North American Media Tour in Las Vegas. "I think he's a great captain." Matthews has the right personality to be captain in Toronto
McDavid and Matthews had played together for a brief moment as members of Team North America during the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. The two captains have been spotted hanging out together on multiple occasions weather practicing on ice during the offseason, or as friends on the town or to dinner. With McDavid not signed to a contract extension yet one can only imagine which has lead to many speculation of the possibility of McDavid one day dawning the blue and white and joining Matthews in Toronto.
It's not every day that the best player in the world thinks the world of you. For McDavid to speak out about Matthews shows real class, and shows why he's such a respected player around the National Hockey League.
