Will McDavid and Kucherov finish near each other in points?

[JoVel]

My guess is that McDavid outscores the second best scorer by 20-25 points.

Easily Kucherov.

Honestly no idea. Kucherov is starting well, McDavids on fire.

Either player could conceivably close any gap between the two. I voted 10-20 McDavid because I'm thinking 10-12, a reverse of last season.

I think this thread will turn into people writing off Kucherov, even more so if McDavid goes like 30 in 12/14 to start the season. Which I'd disagree with.

Last season Kucherov had two monster stretches. 21 in 7 games, and 18 in 5 games. Tampa isnt quite clicking like they were last year, and I doubt Kucherov scores 128 again, but if a player can get 39 in 12, he can close almost any point deficit. I think McDavid is the most consistent player I the league, so if theres anyone to bet on staying out on front, its him. Dont sleep on Kucherov tho

We’ll see what the team’s motivation turns out to be this season.

Kucherov is playing like shit right now but still sneezing out a few points.


One thing to note for the early reactors: 20 games into last season, Kucherov was sitting at 20th in points... Then he scored 105 points in his next 62 games.

Kucherov started slow last year too, can we wait until Christmas before thinking Mcdavid is going to be ahead by 10-20 points? Yeesh

Lopsided result.
