Does McDavid surpass 500 career points this season?

[Steven Toast]

He needs 120 more points this year, he would tie Kucherov's total from last season.

Edit: He needs 118 points with 78 remaining games in the season.

Anything's possible

 

[MattySnipes]

Regular season only? I think he gets another 112 points. Falls just shy. He'll reach 500 next year obviously.

 

[Future GOAT]

If he doesn't get injured I think he surprises everyone this season with his totals, if he plays all 82 games I think he will surpass 500.

 

[thadd]

Assuming he and Drai each play 78+ games and Klefbom plays 70+ games, hell yes.

 

[6ix]

If he plays all 82 it’s definitely possible. Only problem is his speed makes him prone to injuries as it’s caused him two major injuries in 4 years.

All it takes is another Gio or Manning type play and he’s gone for half the year.

I’ll vote yes.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Good chance of hitting 130 this season. Yes.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Always go with under for these types of polls due to injuries

Jesus....McDavid just started in this league. I felt old when I realized Sid and OV were closing in on 800 points. Three more years and McDavid is going to close in on 800 points. What the damn hell?

 

[HugginThePost]

If he stays healthy he'll come damn close, but in the end will come up a couple points shy.

 

[vippe]

Next year is my supersafe bet, everything has to go according to plan to hit that amount of points.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

I don't think McDavid can hit that number unless Draisaitl sticks with him the whole year. Which means 3 players not getting injured are critical to him being able to hit that milestone, obviously himself + Draisaitl, and then RNH, cause I don't think there is anyway Drai stays on the first line if the 2nd line center slot is empty. A possible HM to Klefbom as well, the team on the whole just plays so much better with him healthy. A lot of stars will need to align, just to hit 500 points this season, but it's possible.

Assuming he stays healthy, I think he'll get there. Kid is just an unreal hockey player.

 

[bobholly39]

I remember a year ago threads were popping up after the first week asking if hed score 100 goals in the season.

I think he ended up breaking 40, or close.

Im going to guess he tops out at ~110 points this season.

I mean it's Edmonton, so...

 

[hockeyguru]

i don't think so. he would need to play about the entire regular season to hit 120 and i don't think he's gonna play all 82 games.

 

[Fugazy]

If he hit's the 80 games played mark, then yes he has a shot.

I'd put good money on him surpassing 110 points this season, quite easily.

 

[TheGuiminator]

Injury free McDavid = 120 points minimum.

I'd say he likely reach 500 career points by the end of the season.

 

[Cup or Bust]

If he doesn't get injured and the Oilers are able to get more goals out of guys outside of Draisaitl and RNH, he should get 120-130 points.

 

[Dr Salt]

I'll say just short personally. He very well can though

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Anything is possible when you're the best in the world.

 

[psycat]

I mean the likely answer is no, possible of course but would take the best season of the last 20 years or so point wise?

 

[psycat]

Personally I am already fed up with the talk about him, feels like he has been there forever.

 

[Kcb12345]

I had no idea he was that close wtf. I mean 118 points is a lot but its certainly possible he hits it this season
