PK Subban very recently stated that Connor McDavid's legacy will be greater than that of Wayne Gretzky, even saying that the Oilers captain is the best in the world.

When the dust settled on the NHL's thrilling 4 Nations Face-Off, Connor McDavid conceded he wasn't himself in the tourney's most critical moment, the final against Team USA on Thursday in Boston.

But when it counted most, the Oilers captain delivered. McDavid scored the overtime winner, completing Canada's thrilling 3-2 victory over its arch-rival and winning the championship for his country.

Connor McDavid could have a better legacy than Gretzky, per PK Subban

Already regarded as the game's top player, the reigning Conn Smythe winner has 1,053 points in 695 games over the past decade. And some believe his legacy may one day rival even Wayne Gretzky's.

That group includes ESPN personality and ex-NHLer PK Subban. Asked on 'Get Up' if McDavid is on a trajectory to surpassing Gretzky's legendary status, Subban had no hesitation by saying he does believe that is the case.

"I do believe so. He delivered, not only for Canada, for the players, he delivered for the game. ... Connor McDavid is the best player on the planet. There is no doubt about it."

"Last year, during the Stanley Cup final, Connor McDavid put on a memorable performance. Being down, 3-0, in the Stanley Cup final, coming back and forcing a Game 7 against the Florida Panthers, who was a team on the hunt .

"Connor McDavid did it again, on an even bigger stage, with his country's jersey on. In the final moments, when his country needed him to step up, he delivered, not only for Canada, but for the players and for the game. Best on best. In that moment, when you have the whole world watching, you put the game on the best player in the world's stick and he's gonna put it in the back of the net.

"And that's who Connor McDavid is."

McDavid will look to continue on his NHL tear when his Oilers take on the Washington Capitals and Alex Ovechkin later today.
