Well he's gonna get it. He needs 11 assists in 14 games, which is below his career average and I believe below his average every single season except for his rookie.
The new goal for McDavid in my mind as a fan is looking at 110 assissts, that would push him past a couple of Gretzkys seasons, to a top 10 most assists season ever.
Only Gretzky, and Lemiuex (once) has hit the 110 assists mark.
Something thats going under the radar is that Kucherov has a shot of it aswell. He is pacing for 96 right now, certainly possible he could get 4 more than he is pacing for.
