Oilers' Connor McDavid: Claims first Ted Lindsay Award

Along with winning the Art Ross Trophy, McDavid was named the league's best player as voted by the NHLPA.

Of all the awards McDavid has won, the Lindsay Award is perhaps the most significant because it's voted on by his peers. Nobody else in the league can mix high speed and elite playmaking ability like McDavid, who is a shining example of the NHL's emphasis on quickness and skill. Like Sidney Crosby, McDavid managed to win the Lindsay in just his second year in the league, and he'll win plenty of other trophies down the road. McDavid is the first Oiler to win the Lindsay since Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier won it during the Oilers' "City of Champions" era.
