Judging by his most recent comments, however, he may have a new favourite player. After meeting just over a week ago in Edmonton and the Oilers making their lone visit to Boston tonight, the Bruins veteran shared the highest praise for Connor McDavid.
Marchand said it best that even NHL players are fans, too, and even they can see when another is doing something special.
That's exactly what the Oilers captain is doing. McDavid currently has 54 goals and 70 assists through 65 games, while reaching points 700 and 800 this season.
His 124 points is also a career-high in a season for the back-to-back Art Ross Trophy winner.
