The 21-year-old center led the NHL in scoring with 108 points (41 goals, 67 assists) to win his second consecutive Art Ross Trophy. He led the League with 100 points (30 goals, 70 assists) last season, when he also won the Ted Lindsay Award.
"I definitely didn't think I was going to win, just because of everything with not being in the Stanley Cup] Playoffs and whatnot," McDavid said. "I didn't think there was much of a chance, but it's definitely special."

Selected No. 1 by Edmonton in the 2015 NHL Draft, McDavid led the NHL in points per game (1.32) and multipoint games (32) and was fourth in average ice time among forwards (21:08) this season. He is one of three Oilers to win the award (Wayne Gretzky, 1982-85, 1987; Mark Messier, 1990) and is the first player to win the award twice before turning 22.
McDavid, who was the youngest player in NHL history to be named captain Oct. 5, 2016, won the Hart Trophy last season and finished third in Calder Trophy voting as the NHL rookie of the year in 2015-16 when he had 48 points (16 goals, 32 assists) in 45 games.
