After the initial shock of seein an expressionless face of Connor McDavid passes, I gladly accept the offer, especially considering I feel like I am having a subpar season at the moment with the Minnesota Monarchs. Considering the team he has to contend with in Edmonton, I would tell him that the key to the Stanley Cup goes through inspiring his teammates to play above and beyond. To motivate them to punch above their weight and play with everything they've got and then play even harder. Every play done with the energy and the drive that tells the opposing team WE WANT TO FUCKING WIN and not letting go because a game is played over 60 minutes. I would advise Connor to tell the GM to trade for a better goalie and perhaps one extra piece on defense that would help solidify what is otherwise a Stanley Cup Contender.

My last piece of advice: Don't do like Toronto.
Scoring goals by the boatload is fine but if it's done without any heart, any passion or any intensity then what's the point if you can't make it to the Finals or even the first round? Connor doesn't need to improve anything on his end, but if he can be the motor that drives the team in terms of motivation and his teammates follows? Then the Cup is theirs.
