Only 14 players in history have done it.
Crosby is the only active one.
McDavid will get there. He is the only one with an average of 1 per game
But I was surprised, that Q. Hughes and Cale Makar have the highest assist/game of all active player after McDavid:

So, the question is: Which active NHL player will get to 1000 assists, if he stays healthy enough and has a long career?
McDavid: for sure
After that, I see 6 guys with decent or good chances. But not everyone is gonna make it.
Q. Hughes
Cale Makar
Mitch Marner
Nikita Kucherov
Nathan MacKinnon
Leon Draisaitl
Other than the 6 guys?
Lane Hutson: lets wait a couple of years. But looking good so far
Malkin, Kane and Kopitar are relatively close, but wont get there
Did I miss someone?
