At this point, is there anyone aside from McDavid / Crosby who can win the Art Ross?

[LeafsNation149]

Probably Eichel

 

[Devil Dancer]

Thread needs more Patty Kane.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Laine gets 51+51

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sequin or Benn could do it

 

[Demon Eyes]

Marchand

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

Malkin, Kane, Eichel, Benn, Seguin, one of the Leafs, Laine, Scheifele

all have the ability imo. Most likely, though, it would have to result from a) injuries to a lot of the competition b) weak seasons from a lot of the competition and c) an outlier season on their part.

EDIT: forgot Kucherov.

 

[Solmors]

If I was to pull percentages out of my... ear:

McDavid: 40%
Crosby: 15%
Kane: 12%
Malkin: 10%
Benn: 5%
Seguin: 4%
Backstrom: 4%
Other: 10%

McDavid just won it by 11 points in his first full season. It's his to lose at this point, and many view Crosby as the only one who can challenge him.

Ya no there are a number of people that could do it and have been doing it. Since the 2001-2002 season only two players have won it twice and that's Crosby and Malkin.

And Marty St. Louis (2004 and 2013)

 

[Hockeyholic]

Larkin, Kucherov, Malkin, Backstrom come to mind.

Oppsss missed it.

 

[GellMann]

Larkin, Kucherov, Malkin, Backstrom come to mind.

Dylan Larkin? The guy with 32 points?

 

[Paxton Fettel]

Wouldn't put Crosby at the same level as McDavid. Why not Seguin or Benn?

 

[Paxton Fettel]

Thread needs more Patty Kane.

Without Panarin? Nope.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Now consider that Kunitz will no longer be stinking up either Penguin's line.

Here's the same argument in McDavid's favor;

He'll no longer have Eberle stinking up his line. The guy cost him probably at atleast a dozen points last season by killing plays/missing the net.

 

[Laveuglette]

Patrick Kane, Malkin, Backstrom, and many others definitely could.

 

[Laveuglette]

And Marty St. Louis (2004 and 2013)

Yep, that undrafted midget who played in the AHL until he was 25. He shall never be forgotten. What a guy.

 

[ijuka]

Kucherov is pretty underrated, i see.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch!

 

[Benneguin]

Sequin or Benn could do it

Not with Hitchcock as coach.

 

[LeProspector]

I'm a Homer, but Karlsson/Stone from Ottawa. Have the best chance from the Sens.
Also Eichel.

 

[Canucks1096]

The last 2 times Malkin played a full season he also won Ross in both years. But one problem he can't stay healthy.

 

[snipes]

If McDavid and Drai are on the same line, McDavid wins by an even wider gap than he won this year.

 

[FlameChampion]

If McDavid is healthy all year, theres a very high chance he wins imo. He creates so many offensive chances. If he improves his shot which he says he is, hes going to be deadly.

But yeah, other players could technically win.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Just my personal opinion, but I don't believe Seguin or Benn have the ability to hit 100points.

McDavid

Crosby
Malkin
Kane

Eichel
Matthews



- Lock for 100
- Got 100 recently
- Have potential to hit 100
