Player Discussion Connor McDavid Part VII: Hart, Ross & Lindsay Winner | 100 Points In 53 Games!

[MoreDifferentS]

I don't know if this was mentioned, but with McDavid having stitched up his third Art Ross, I wondered who else had won it at least three times. The list was actually even shorter than I expected, and those names that he'll be joining... let's just say I've heard of a couple of them.

Is this McDavid season worthy of the "historic" title yet?

The fact that he has more assists than any of his non teammates have points is Gretzky level dominance and something that I never saw as being possible in this day and age.

I just went through every NHL season since Gretz broke into the league and this is what I found:

Gretzky
'82-83 125 assists, Stastny 124 points
'84-85 135 assists, Coffey 135 points, Hawerchuk 130 points
'85-86 163 assists, Lemieux 141 points
'86-87 121 assists, Kurri 108 points

Connor is sitting at 71 assists which is more than every other player not named Draisaitl has points (Drai has 84 points currently, the 3rd highest scorer is Brad Marchand with 69 points). That is only a little less impressive than Wayne's dominance in the '84-85 season where Coffey was the 2nd leading scorer and had as many points as Gretz had assists. It's crazy to see how dominant that Connor has been this season and then realize that he likely still isn't as dominant as Wayne was in his prime. That said there is no doubt that this season is a historic one for Connor and hopefully only the beginning of a stretch that rivals any player that didn't wear #99.

Im surprised Crosby never made that list.

Yeah, Crosby only played like 45 percent of the games from 2010 to 2013. Those are some prime years that just disappeared.

McDavid set the record for the largest share of his team's offense.

105 points on 183 goals = 57.38%

Lemieux previously held the record

199 points on 347 goals = 57.35%

Imagine what he could have done if his FO% was 52%!

Good thing they waited this long to announce it. Race was getting pretty close at the end there.

Oilers getting a little ahead of themselves.

Lindholm in Calgary still has 3 games to put up

I wonder if Connor can break the trend and continue to up his point totals beyond 24-25 yrs old. Most great players have their best point production seasons in their early 20s and drop off around 24-5 onwards. I think there was an article and stat tracking that proved this too.

When NHLers get old, they get old fast - Sportsnet.ca.

Scoring and winning are two different things.

 

[Brown Cat]

Daniel said it? It's true then. We can just post this to anyone who doubts and just say "Daniel said it. Your argument is invalid".

 

[MaxR11]

Scoring and winning are two different things.

You don't have to tell me. I just want the team to win games. Win in the playoffs. Win the freaking cup.

 

[TB12]

105 in 56 is absolute insanity. I have legitimately run out of words and superlatives to describe McDavid. We are so f***ing lucky to get to watch this guy as an Oiler.

Top 10 in scoring | Points behind McDavid:

​

1) McDavid 56gp. 33-72-105 1.88 points/game | -
2) Draisaitl 56gp. 31-53-84 1.50 points/game | 21
3) Marchand 53gp. 29-40-69 1.30 points/game | 36
4) Marner 55gp. 20-47-67 1.22 points/game | 38
5) Matthews 52gp. 41-25-66 1.27 points/game | 39
6) Rantanen 52gp. 30-36-66 1.27 points/game | 39
7) P. Kane 56gp. 15-51-66 1.18 points/game | 39
8) MacKinnon 48gp. 20-45-65 1.35 points/game | 40
9) Scheifele 56gp. 21-42-63 1.13 points/game | 42
10) Crosby 55gp. 24-38-62 1.13 points/game | 43​

If you took out his PP production and only factored in his ES scoring (68 points) he would still be the 3rd leading scorer in the league behind only Draisaitl and Marchand.

That's some serious points separation from McDavid to those behind him. Pro rated over a full season and he's getting into territory of some of the greats.

Congrats Connor. More to come I'm sure.

but what about his puck retrievals or leg block shots per 60??

 

[CravenMH]

I can definitely see McD matching or beating Lemieux with 6 Art Ross.

 

[McJadeddog]

I can definitely see McD matching or beating Lemieux with 6 Art Ross.

Skill wise, I don't doubt he could do it. It is health that always seems to be the problem. Crosby likely had the talent to win 6 as well, but had lots of injuries.

 

[KMart27]

The downside to the 56 game season is McDavid was on pace for 100+ assists if it was a normal length season. Would be only the fourth player to accomplish that. Hopefully next season.
