Will McDavid and Kucherov finish near each other in points?

[apollo18]

mcDavid seems to have got off to an amazing start and Kucherov just seems to be going normally. I assume Kucherov will get hot too, so are we all expecting for them to finish very close in points? Or is mcdavid going to win by a margin 15 points ++

McDavid by at least 10. Probably more. He's on a different level compared to everyone else except for Draisaitl so far (who is actually playing better than McDavid). Looking like he should top 130 points this season.

Doing what he's doing right now with what probably amounts to his 'B' game. When he knocks some of the rust off and starts handling the puck better, look out.

McDavid is looking like he's going to beat anyone in the league by at least 10-15+ right now, what a talent man

I don't think Kucherov has another 128 point season in him. It's not that he's going to decline, i just think last year was a perfect storm of a career year. I think he'll still do 100+ consistently, but maybe won't even hit 110 this year. So I voted for McDavid by 10-20 or more.

People need to calm down a bit though with the start of the season. Kucherov started slow last year (relatively speaking), as it was Matthews/Ranta who were all the rage at the start. It's really around november, and especially dec he started building up steam and never let up till he hit 128 points.

Also - last year, 1 week into the season, people on here were saying he'd score 100 goals (lol). It could still end up going either way

Should have had a "McDavid by 20+"-option, but I voted for 10-20.

The crazy thing is that McDavid's still been the second-best player on his team.

Kucherov is playing like trash atm and if he keeps this up then it’s not gonna be close. Though he could still sleep his way to a 100 points. He did start slow last year as well so who knows. Voting for Mcdavid is the safe bet here either way.

 

[Khomutov]

Kucherov will outscore McDavid again.

 

[thadd]

Looks like Kucherov's ship has sailed.
LOL J/K
But seriously, laughing at the people who expected him to play at that level for a long period of time.

yeah I'm sure he's gonna sustain his 28% OIS% ....

Keep relying on those small sample sizes for stats like on ice shooting percentage and ignoring McDavid's proven track record and history.

I know McDavid's success bothers you but it will be okay.

They'll be top2 easy

I wouldn't give leon that much credit. Even though he's a top 3 goal scorer

you mean by finishing with more than 10 less point than Kucherov last year?

 

[TheGuiminator]

I think this will finally be the year where McDavid separates himself from the rest of the pack

Good for Kucherov, he won an Art Ross. Who won the 2 before that?

Your lack of logic is entertaining, if nothing else. Looking forward to your continued crying as McDavid continues dominating the league, as I said.

Go figure the only person voting for Kucherov by 10-20 is you.

 

[apollo18]

at the start of the year, consensus was that it was basically a toss up as some were saying kuch and some were saying mcD, but now due to mcdavids hot start, seems like he cant be catched?

 

[McFlash97]

In 4 less games.

The uninformed.

 

[SotasicA]

McDavid by 20+

 

[Cup or Bust]

I doubt Tampa will outscore Edmonton by 90 goals this season. Edmonton is scoring goals at a higher pace then previous seasons and McDavid is scoring more points. No surprise at all.

 

[Strait2thecup]

McDavid is an all time great and by far the best player in the league. He’ll repeat last year. Kuch probably won’t

 

[JohnnyBerts]

Kooch did have a slowish start last year before the faucet went full power. Although watching Tampa games, Brayden Point looks like the best player on that team now and McDavid looks like he turned his game up another gear and has no intention of finishing second. Whereas Kooch might care more about a cup this season. It’s easily McD over Kooch by landslide this season.

5, really. The Calgary game where McDavid got injured he left after 1 period.

Well, I would. I think Draisaitl's been better. And it has absolutely nothing to do with goals.

Actually, in spite of points, I think McDavid's played relatively poorly for his standards this season.

No McDavid by 30+ option?
