With 55 assists and 35 primary assists in 59 games, he's on pace for 76 assists and 49 primary assists. The best ever seasons for D-men for these numbers are:
Total Assists

8. 83/84 Coffey - 45
9. 91/92 Housley - 44
10. 90/91 Leetch - 42
It looks like he has a very realistic shot to put up the best ever numbers in both categories excluding Orr and Coffey. It also doesn't seem like a complete impossibility that he could go on a hot streak and have the most primary assists outright, although it's still very unlikely.
