While 13 other cities may still be in mourning over the results of Saturday’s 2015 NHL Draft Lottery, the No. 1-pick-winning city of Edmonton is more than a little giddy.

Delicious breakfast sandwich big.

Edmonton FM radio station Hot 107 handed out free “Connor McMuffins” Monday morning in celebration, continuing this spring’s link between the Golden Arches and popular hockey stories.

Although the Connor McMuffin looks suspiciously unofficial, the seed for a marketing windfall has been planted.

“They’ve got fans supporting even through the tough slide they’ve gone through in the past couple years,” McDavid said Saturday night of his all-but-certain destination. “I think that speaks volumes about the fan support they get there in Edmonton.”
