Connor McDavid doesn't have anything to prove when it comes to how good he is at the game of hockey. However, it never hurts to remind the people just how talented the Oilers star is.  On a night all about showcasing the skills, it was no surprise to see the best player on the planet dominate in front of a packed Toronto crowd. McDavid took home the top honors at the NHL All-Star Skills competition,finishing first in the 12-man challenge and winning a $1 million prize in the proce s.  The stars did not disappoint Friday night. In a battle that came down to other elite skaters Cameron Maybin Jersey  such as Cale Makar, Auston Matthews and William Nylander, McDavid managed to beat out his other competitors at the last second of the 2024 event.   MCDAVID MAGIC   Connor McDavid is the 2024 Skills competition winner    ESPN (@espn)  The Oilers superstar won three of the first six challenges in Round 1, easily punching his ticket to Round 2. McDavid stumbled a bit during the One-on-One event in the second round, however, his strong showing to start was enough to get him in the final.  It's fitting that the last event  the Obstacle Course  was McDavid's own inspiration. The Edmonton captain had a major part in designing the skills night, and the final challenge had his fingerprints all over it. So it was not a surprise to see McDavid dominate the final, beating Makar's time by almost three seconds to be crowned the champion.  The 2024 edition of the Skills competition differed from year's past. Instead of there being a number of separate challenges throughout the night, the NHL elected for a 12-man competition, with players earning points in each round.  McDavid was one of those consulted on the format, and he viewed the changes as positive.  "We wanted to go back to the basics and show off the skills we use on a nightly basis."  Connor McDavid chats with after winning the 2024 Skills.   Sportsnet (@Sportsnet)  "I thought it was a fun event," McDavid said after the contest. "I hope the fans had fun, we put on a good show. I thought it was fun.  "Everybody wanted to go back to the basics and show off the skills that we use on a nightly basis.
