Which players will compete with Malkin this season for the Art Ross?
Yahhhhhh. No one is competing with Malkin. They are playing for #2 barring an injury to McDavid
Which players will compete with Malkin this season for the Art Ross?
I think people are a bit too much on the McDavid hype train
No question he deserves to be the favorite but he is by no means unbeatable.
To me the top 5 threats in no order are
Mcdavid
Crosby
Malkin
Mack
Kane
Kucherov could be up there too
Lol McDavid was sick for about a month last year and still left the competition in the dust by years end. PPG doesn’t mean anything at the end of the year.
And keep in mind his team was terrible.
No one is pretending anything. However someone is pretending that a guy who just won 2 consecutive Art Ross Trophies by age 21 is not the clear cut favourite to win the Art Ross in a landslide as he enters his prime years lol.
McDavid is the 2nd player in hockey history to have done this.
and your talking about landslide .. cmon man
I did not say he has no talent. You're reading stuff in between the lines that doesn't exist. I said his current production is inflated because of luck (he should finish with 80-ish points, hardly enough for the Art Ross) - see his oiSH% Mikko Rantanen Stats | Hockey-Reference.com
McLovin!There's some guy in EDM that is pretty good... McDavis or McDavidson or something.
Right so he'll get 140 points this year, got it.Well unlike you I guess I prefer watching the games instead of just looking at fancy stats. He plays really well, even better than last year and has been unlucky a couple of games. He could have had another 4-5 goals with a little bit of luck.
Unless he gets injured I don't see their line failing anytime soon, meaning his production will continue with some ups and downs.
Healthy McDavid produced 100 and 108 points in his last two seasons. Last year, scoring increased. This year, scoring has gone up a bit too but not enough to prognosticate an increase from 108 to 120 or higher production. 110-115 is my expectation for McDavid this year.Healthy McDavid will score between 120 and 140 points this year and no one will compete with him.
You're allowed to your opinion.Healthy McDavid produced 100 and 108 points in his last two seasons. Last year, scoring increased.

Thank you very much.You're allowed to your opinion.
Nobody is scoring 120 or 140 points unless you have time machine Mario and Gretzky
You better believe 120 is possible out of Mcdavid. He scored 108 on a dust team as a 20/21 year old.
I doubt sid and malkin get as many points over the years if one isn’t there. Especially because of the power play benefits of playing with each other. And ya I know malkin has played better when Crosby has been hurt at times but not always and Crosby usually benefits with malkin in the line up. And when you have two good players like that on other lines teams have to spread out their match ups a little more evenly. Mcdavid is absolutely the number 1 2 and 3 priority for other teams when they play the other oilersFair point but in mcdavids case he’s always going to get premium minutes and top pp minutes. You can’t tell me last year’s team benefited Mcdavid especially with that power play lol.

The higher the points the more difficult it is to increase. Going from 108 points to 120 is different than 50 to 62 for example. I agree it's doable, just unlikely imo.

108 point on the worst powerplay of the league a terrible under 15% on a league that average over 20%, Oilers can easily score 25 more power play goals this year and he seem to be playing 2 minute a game more this year. Is 20 power play points was really low among the best scorer of the league, he could easily do 30-35.

Mcdavid is never getting 140 lmfao

Edit I messed up this whole reply lol
Last 120 point seasons happened just 11-12 years ago. Ovechkin and Malkin were "on pace" to score 120+ missing around 10 games even more recent than that. It's unlikely, but possible.Nobody is scoring 120 or 140 points unless you have time machine Mario and Gretzky
There is literally no reason to believe this, so do you have anything besides your own personal doubt?
