Speculation: Guess McDavid's game and point totals for this season

[oobga]

78 games
41-55-96

Less time with Drai, he's gonna take charge and finish more himself, but changing that focus and lesser linemates is going to take away from his assists a bit. Very well may be good enough for another Art Ross still

 

[ohheyhemsky]

80 GP - 87 Pts.

 

[Kagomeboy]

82 120 points

The points will be mostly from assist.

 

[5 14 6 1]

79 games 107 points

 

[T-Funk]

104 GP 132 points. I went there.

I have a tough time seeing him get less than 60 assists. Even 60 seems crazy low for how much he creates.

I'll say he gets around 70 assists again but ups his goal total to closer to 40. Let's go 80 games 38 goals 108 points

 

[KingKhron]

47 goals 73 assists 120 points He's got another level if it was the same league as last year and with the crackdown, he'll take a significant leap. They keep it up for the whole season(which I highly doubt) and I think he could even beat that.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

82gp. 40-80-120 if the PP opportunities go up and he can find a consistent RWer.

 

[Tom Collins]

I think we'll see an improvement, but I have a fear that we're not going to see him totally avoid injury this year.

76GP - 37G - 65A - 102P

 

[Perfect_Drug]

137

 

[NeverForget06]

79- 36-71- 107

I'm going to start a breakaway counter for McDavid here. I'll try to watch as many games from Oilers as possible, live and from record, but help is appreciated as I'm bound to miss some games.

McDavid breakaway counter
Calgary 10/4 : 4 breakaways 1 goal

Total
Breakaways: 4
Goals: 1
Breakaways/game: 4
Conversion rate: 25%

Great idea! Here's some links for posterity:

First break of the game
Second break of the game
Third break (no highlight) - steps around hamonic, cuts around him to the outside but loses the handle at the last second.
Fourth break (goal) of the game

 

[LaGu]

216 pts

 

[Reindl87]

If he plays on a line with Maroon and Draisatil i really think he can end up with 130 points

 

[TheBusDriver]

82 GP - 45G - 75A - 120P

 

[Perfect_Drug]

He's on pace for 246 goals

 

[Aequitas]

With the rule changes and his desire to become a better goal scorer (plus his penchant for round numbers) in going with 60 - 60 - 120 in 82 games played.

 

[Gordian Knot]

I might be a bit pessimistic but I throw my guess: 81 GP 41 goals and 77 assists, total 118 points.

Would be intresting to guess which Oilers players don't have goal assisted by McDavid during the season?

I'm going with Broissoit.

The reigning Hart Trophy winner’s summer mission was to climb from 30-goal scorer to Rocket Richard chaser, but his execution was not necessarily data-based.
McDavid said he spent time studying Auston Matthews, Joe Pavelski and last year’s league leader, Sidney Crosby, and visualized the bridge to the 14-goal gap that separated him from Sid.

This was an interesting article. Rocket Richard incoming? I wouldn't doubt McDavid.
