Will McDavid lead the NHL in Points this season?

[Habs Halifax]

12 points in 9 games. That's 1.33 pts/per game so far this year and 1.07 pts/per game last season (45 games). Will McDavid be the points leader at the end of the season?

Assuming he stays healthy, there's a good chance he will.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Yes, he will.

He's got a good shot at it. But seeing how great Sid looks, it's an open race. McDavid is one of the biggest frontrunners for sure.

If he plays 82 games, I think he will! He skates so fast and drives to the net that I hope he doesn't get injured! Big Habs fan here but hoping for good things for all Canadian teams. Oilers and Habs for the cup? haha

 

[GREMLIN]

Easy no for me, until I see him play a full season my money is on Sid, Kane and co.

If he stays healthy, he's probably the biggest favorite for it. Honestly, the only guy I see challenging him is Crosby. I'm rooting for McDavid to win the Art Ross, since he's one of my favorite players and I love his dynamic skating and how he challenges the D on constant basis. But you are right, his style has it's own risks as we saw last season.

Good luck for Habs and Oilers from Finland!

 

[M2Beezy]

Definitely. Not a doubt in my mind

 

[doorbag]

I think it's definitely possible if he stays healthy this year. It seems like he is getting better every time he steps onto the ice and is already producing at over ppg.

 

[Habs Halifax]

How many points does he get if he plays 82 games? Over or under 100 pts tough to predict!

 

[Rebuilt]

No. Hes not ready.

Next year he will.

 

[Habs Halifax]

No. Hes not ready.

Next year he will.

Not ready? I don't think that's the case. It's more like will someone else get more points.

 

[Advanced stats]

No,he'll get hurt.

 

[Habs Halifax]

No,he'll get hurt.

Hope you wrong but I can't argue with that. He's so young and skates so fast towards the net, he puts himself at risk. Fearless at his age!

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Crosby will.

 

[Mpasta]

Easy no for me, until I see him play a full season my money is on Sid, Kane and co.

Curious how it's an easy no for you? Just watching him play in his short time in the NHL shows that he's more than capable of doing it this year.

 

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

It's Sid's to lose since he came back so soon.

It would be amazing if it was a race between McDavid and Crosby, and I believe it will be. Better question is what if, what if McDavid wins the Art Ross, the Oilers make the playoffs, and he wins one of Hart/Lindsay too? Would that be a better start than Crosby had? In my opinion that would be spectacular.

 

[KevinRedkey]

He's been my pick for the Art Ross since Edmonton signed Lucic, so I'll go ahead and say yes.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

Since its less than 10 games into the season, lets go with:

Maybe.

 

[A91]

IF HEALTHY yes 100% he will imo. Just imagine if the Oil had a decent power play, man he'd put up even better numbers.

For better perspective. 58% of Girouxs point are power play points, while only 25% of McDavids are.

 

[skillhockey]

This will be his first full season(i hope). Unless he has big lead after first half, i don't see him winning it. Someone with experience will finish strong.

 

[Master P]

No he will not.

 

[AvsGuy]

Lol that was the clincher for you?

 

[beowulf]

Hope so, I have him in my pool.
