Will a player ever score 150 points in a season again?

Put Mcdavid on a competent team then ya

 

[Tralfamadore]

No not likely, not since Rantanen in November.

Absolutely McDavid could.

Bernie Nicholls did it so it can't be that hard

 

[Mattilaus]

According to these boards I am sure Pettersson will, possibly as soon as next season.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Gaudreau-McDavid-Kucherov would all score 150+ if they played on a line together

It doesn't work that way. You can't just throw superstars together and assume they will all score way the hell more.

Far in the future, yes. Current generation doesn't have a player like that though.

 

[TheGuiminator]

Mcdavid has the potential
Will he do it? I don’t think so

I think it could happen again with some rule changes and the continuation of shrinking goalie equipment.

9/16 of the 150 point seasons seen the players shooting at above 20 SH%. Shot volume was also up with many of the players approaching being +350 shots.

For context the best SH% of 100 points players since the lockout is Claude Giroux at 17.6% with only 196 shots.

Only seven players have had more than 350 shots in a season since the lockout. With the low end of SH% being 8.7 from Ovi and the high being 14.7 from Jagr.

I believe the talent has been around for us to see it happen (Jagr, Ovi, Crosby, McDavid), the game has just been too tight with large goalies, shot blocking, and system play.

The way the current NHL is, I have to say no. It would take a perfect storm of multiple rule changes coming into effect together and also being the best generational player since McDavid (it's going to have to be someone after McDavid, I think).
