this is actually a really interesting question, kudos to OP.
it's a tough call, i'm really not sure. mcdavid is looking better than even his biggest fans thought he would be doing this early. there was supposed to be more of a learning curve for him than crosby had. crosby was just built to dominate right from the get go. on one hand i cant see an 18 year old winning the scoring title but i think mcdavid is such a smart hockey player that i see him getting a lot better as the year goes on. trying to recall, did sid hit any big slumps in his first season? i dont think he went more than like 2 maybe 3 games without a point, iirc.
one thing i have found really impressive about connor aside from the obvious hands and skating is how he positions himself on the ice. he's done an amazing job at setting little picks on the ice or subtle interference plays or putting himself in a position next to a defender where the defender can't really cover him effectively. i'm not explaining it well but it's there.
sid looks pretty lifeless out there, and the stats for his past ~50 games or so are pretty underwhelming... i think he's averaging under a ppg over that span. though i think ultimately though they will can johnston and get a new coach to wake this team up.... i think in the end sid will end up with more points.
but again great question OP.
I don't know if you're trying to be funny, or you meant to reply under a different username, but either way I peed myself
