With an 82 games schedule instead of 48 in 2012-13, do you think Crosby walks out with the Art Ross despite missing 25% of the season ?
Crosby put up 56 point in 36 games, missing 25% of the season. In a full season of 82 games, it translates to 96 points in ≃62 games.
You had St.Louis who was pacing for 102 points, but considering he was 37, it’s safe to say that his offensive production would’ve likely decrease and probably finished around 88-92-ish points over a full season. Then, you had Stamkos, Kane and Ovechkin who were pushing for the scoring title with a pacing of 97, 96 and 96 points respectively.
Now the question is : which player in the mix maintain, decrease or increase their pacing over a full season? Does it give Crosby a better chance to create a gap or do his peers have an even bigger advantage on him over a full season?
