McDavid has a high chance of leading the league in, Goals, Asissts, Points, EVP, PPP. It would be the first time since Lemieux scored 199 in in '88-'89.

9 goals ahead of Pastrnak 11 ahead of Thompson.
5 assists ahead of Kucherov, 10 ahead of Karlsson.
Tied with Karlson in EVP, 5 ahead of Pettersson/Crosby.
10 PPP ahead of Draisaitl, 15 ahead of RNH.

Also spends 1:20 per game on the penalty kill and he's 3rd in SH points.
 
We’re probably at about that point where we’ll look back when the season is over and note that this is when McDavid had the Art Ross won if he were to sit out the remaining schedule.

If 121 points doesn’t do it, it’s close (Drai is on pace for 122 in 80 games and Kucherov 117 in 82 games).

To continue the tradition:

Needs 9 points in final 19 games to hit 130 points.
Needs 19 points in final 19 games to hit 140 points.
Needs 29 points in final 19 games to hit 150 points.

And now…needs 39 points in final 19 games to hit 160.

Damn.
 
What will help him reach a higher amount of points is if the Oilers keep having to fight for their playoff spot. The moment they clinch, he might be scratched or just play with less motivation.

I thought McD's production would dip with Barrie gone, but he's had six points in two games since he left. It's not inconceivable for McDavid to break 160, and if he somehow gets 162...that will be the most points anyone has scored in a single season since the f***ing 80s: 1988-89!!! (when Mario had 199)

I think quite the opposite. When they (if) clinch the playoff spot everyone on that team will turn their focus to set up McDavid for as many points as possible. Not that he need to be handed points but anyway.

lol you think McDavid was depending on Barrie. I really liked Barrie. He's a really underrated defender. McDavid will be just fine with Bouchard on the point

Well, not exactly depending, but maybe in terms of achieving consecutive three-point games...

And only one D-man had a point tonight: Kulak!

I'm not sure people realize McDavid doesn't need anyone. He'll do it on his own if he has to. He has some great teammates, but he'd be putting up the same points in Arizona as he is here in Edmonton. He's that driven

Yeah, Draisaitl won't come even close to 122 points this year if McDavid sits out and isn't there to carry him to those 122 points...
McDavid pretty much locked down the Art Ross, Hart and Lindsey after this game. Only the Rocket would still be up for grabs if McDavid sits out the rest of the season.

Well if that's the case then McDavid should be playing with 4th liners. Oilers would have crazy depth.

The Oilers at the very least will probably end up fighting for positioning until game 82. There are legit 8 teams that could finish anywhere from #1 in the west to a wild card spot. Edmonton will want home ice at least.
 
Let’s look at his production through 63 games divided evenly.

16 goals and 36 points in first 21 games.
18 goals and 41 points in next 21 games.
18 goals and 44 points in last 21 games.

Getting stronger all season long. McDavid has proved time and again that he can maintain high PPG’s throughout a season and not just have one amazing half of a season.

That’s now 231 goals and 624 points over his last 382 games since the beginning of the second half of the 2017-2018 season, when he really began racking up points. That’s a 1.634 PPG for a 382 game sample size where he has only missed 13 games.

If he just finishes the season at those paces, he ends up with 63 goals and 152 points.

I have to believe at this point he's getting 65+ goals and 155+ points
 
It will rank better than any non Gretzky/Lemieux/Orr season. Without a doubt.

I think how it compares to the best of Howe will be interesting. Howe had a more dominant finish relative to peers, but there’s more competition from a 32 team league.
