No , he really won't sadly.
Last year was his peak, he played all 82 games and he was locked in. He still couldn't get it, which is totally fine. But I wouldn't expect 140 pts again. It sucks he couldn't double down with a Hart and AR but it is what it is.
This year was another perfect storm, mcdavid was having a down year, drai went down with injury, Kuch also missed 4 games. This was his shot.
What are the chances he plays 82 games, Mcdavid and everyone else has a down year? I'd say less than 1 percent. He's also turning 30.
Basically, if mack couldn't win an AR playing all 82 games in a perfect storm at age 28/29, what are the chances he wins one in his 30s? It's not happening. Happy with the Hart and TL, but it's a bit of a shame he won't win a Ross.
On to the Conn smythe though, that's the biggest individual honor a player can win especially if it coincides with a cup. Makar has in, now it's nates turn
