Which player is most likely to reach 60 goals in 2020-21?

[Varan]

None of them. It is insanely hard even to get 50, forget about 60. None of them have shown the capability (except Drai) to touch 50. There's a reason only 2 players have hit 60 in the past 25 YEARS

I don't want to hear about pace. The season wears on you and this should be common knowledge.

If it wasn't for the 2019-20 season having to end early because of Covid-19 we would have seen Matthews, Pastrnak, and Ovechkin all score at least 50+ goals, since they were at 47 and 48 goals.

Maybe, maybe not. Cold streaks can happen. Even so, that would be the first time there were 3-50 goal scorers in the same season since 2010. Rarely occurs.

That's not even the cherry on top. This thread is about 60, and none of them would have hit 60 in this historical season.

I only mentioned Matthews, Pastrnak, and Ovechkin would have scored 50 goals if the regular season was not suspended based on their totals of 47 and 48 goals, along with the fact Toronto had 12 games left, Boston had 12 games left, and Washington had 13 games left.

Also how can you say none of them shown the capacity to score 50 goals, since Ovechkin has scored 50 goals 8 times in his career.

It's irrelevant because this thread is about 60 goals

This thread is about 60 goals not 50. And OV is excluded in the poll as an option. I said none of the players in the poll have shown the capacity to score 60

Since Matthews and Pastrnak were both two and three goals short of 50 and it's a number they would have got if all 82 games were played. I can't see why they wouldn't have the capacity to challenge for 60 goals.
