Oilers' Rattie: McDavid could put up 100 points playing with my dad

Edmonton Oilers forward Ty Rattie is growing quite fond of playing on a line with Connor McDavid.

After failing to yet establish himself as an NHL regular, Rattie, 25, has found success playing on a line with McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, picking up four goals and three assists in his last six games.

This prompted Rattie to give credit where credit's due.

"You could put my dad on his line and he'd put up 100 points," he told Sportsnet's Mark Spector.

While it's a clear exaggeration, it's quite remarkable how McDavid has been able to rack up 99 points on such a poor team.

As long as Rattie can keep up his chemistry with McDavid, the former St. Louis Blues' second-round pick should have no problem finding a permanent home in Edmonton, given the team's lack of scoring talent on the wings.
