How many points could McDavid possibly score in a season?

[Steven Toast]

He will hit 140 when he has Alexis Lafreniere on his wing.

I guess Drai will be playing with Hughes at that point.

 

[Dr Pepper]

216.

 

[tapi]

135 is what I would see as his maximum

 

[Mbraunm]

According to era adjusted stats, on average, in his prime years Gretzky would put up ~155 points. So, I think McDavid could put up 140 points given excellent support-he is that good.

you think he’s slightly worse than Gretzky? lmao

 

[PittsburghPens8771]

He leaves 3-5 points on the table almost every game, sometimes he misses an easy chance, sometimes teammates can’t finish an easy chance. He’s better then his point totals suggest thus far.

It’s so true. After every game I watch I say to myself wow, he could have had 10 points that game. I hope he puts up a crazy point season. I think he can

 

[McFlash97]

He approaches 140 at his absolute peak. It would be a sight to behold. 140 points in the modern era. A lot of things have to go right.

 

[La Bamba]

I think if most things went right, he could hit ~140 points. He still has some room for growth in his game

 

[Mbraunm]

You think he is actually better?

No need to continue posting after this. Adjusted stats are incredibly flawed.

There is no reason to put McDavid near Wayne based on what he has done so far. He doesn't have a Top 5 Best season since the lockout.

Team support is way overrated here, the very best players produce regardless of team support. That's what makes them great.

 

[Dondini]

I know most players peak at 23-25 especially superstars so he’s close to his peak production, the thing is he’s so fast he could afford to put on 10lbs of solid muscle, he would still a rocket out there but with a little more strength to make those extra plays. I think he has more room to grow then say a Crosby or ovechkin at the same age. Could be wrong tho but it just seemed like those guys were physically mature already. There is no way in hell Connor is physically mature yet. And there is no way he’s 193lbs. He’s 6’0 3/4 he’s maybe 180lbs. I know the nhl is getting lighter but when you are the fastest guy in the show and you are that skinny you can afford to put on same weight. He’s to just a little bit weak. I may not have a f***ing clue what I’m talking about but that’s the way I see it when I watch him play

I think he peaks at ages 25-26 with 135 points

 

[FDBluth]

If he gets cooking with a really good powerplay, I could see him go for 55-90.

I very much agree with you here.

 

[amnesiac]

with increased scoring.... Ill say 140 in his prime

 

[Martin Skoula]

He's not really an exceptional powerplay weapon though.

 

[SI90]

Depends. If his wingers were Kucherov and Ovechkian that would probably lead to
An insane point total. That’s not realistic. But he’s basically a 100pt player without hardly any help.

 

[FDBluth]

Have you seen the powerplay he works with? With a good power play he could easily 90 assists. I agree that he's not an elite goalscoring threat on the power play so get to 50+ goals he'd need a very good even-strength team with very good puck moving D.

 

[DrDrai]

Anywhere from 0-150

Honestly I don't see how he would be less than 193, his legs are massive like almost all hockey players and he is by no means a weak or overly thin player, which you would almost have to be to weigh that little at his height. I mean Patrick Kane weighs like 177 at 5'11.

Lol his legs are not massive.



I dunno who’s is bigger loool. But to be fair I’m sure his legs are bigger than most. I workout a quite a bit am around some serious athletes in the gym. Guys who are around 6’1 193 with low body fat appear much bigger than him and yes they do legs and can squat phenomenal amount of weight. I could be wrong tho but I just don’t see 193 and still believe with some properly added weight his game could be better. But wtf do I know Just my opinion

Lol well you can't really see his thighs there which are the part that are pretty big. I'm not even 5'11 and I'm skinnier than him and weigh around 175, there's no way he's not atleast 10-15 pounds bigger than I am, and I don't even workout at all.
