McDavid heating up, what are odds on 150 points this season?

At this point all he has to do is match his scoring pace from last year in the final 15 games to hit 150.

He's been on a different level this season so I don't see him missing 150 at this point if he's healthy.
I wish more people would be like us, Era.
Enjoying the magic that Connor is showing the world this year instead of discussing useless Leafs/Oiler game results.
 
Reminds me of Blair MacDonald.

In 1980 he scored 94 points for Edmonton. Then he got traded to Vancouver and he scored 33 points the next season. He was out of the league two years later.

Three guesses what happened to his point production.
Bernie Nichols was a much much better player than BJ.

He is also now 29 points up on Draisaitl and 32 points up on Kucherov.

That’s now a margin of 29.6% ahead of the runner up and 33.7% ahead of the closest non-teammate.

Only Howe and Gretzky have such victories to their name.

And it will be his second wildly dominant win. 25% over Drai and 52.1% over #3 Marchand in 2020-2021.

But yeah, between that, 5 Art Rosses, 3 Harts, 4 Lindsays, 150 points to come, and all his other accolades, he hasn’t separated himself enough from his peers for some people.
 
He needs 1 point against Ottawa to get to 30 points against each of the 4 divisions. By my count that would be the first time someone has done that since a pair of nobodies (the kind that would be 4th liners today) did it in 1988-89. His current splits by division, ordered by pace

Atlantic
29 in 15, 159 point pace
Ottawa

Central
38 in 20, 156 point pace
Dallas, Arizona x2, Colorado

Metro
30 in 16, 154 point pace
None

Pacific
30 in 16, 154 point pace
Seattle, SJS x3, VGK x2, LAK x2, Anaheim x2
 
My model now gives McDavid a 99% probability of reaching 140 points (assuming he plays all 82 games). His probability skyrocketed with his recent streak of 19 points in six games. This shows his probability, re-calculated after each game this year:

The model shows that McDavid is favoured to get 150 points, but it's close to coin flip. Note how he was at 11% less than a month ago:

And in terms of reaching 60 goals, it's not quite a done deal, but he has a very good chance. His probability soared from 17% to 90% in just three weeks, thanks to scoring 13 goals in the past 10 games:
