Redoing the thread as I messed up the first one. Predict who will be 100pts scorers 5 years from now.
Who will do it at least once, or multiple times?Redoing the thread as I messed up the first one. Predict who will be 100pts scorers 5 years from now.
Scoring is rising, so 100 is the new 80.Did OP do a ninja edit, or maybe I’m misreading the question, because there’s no way the majority of HFBoards users think a 34 year old Mackinnon or Draisaitl are very likely to still be 100 point players, or a third of them believe a 36 year old Kucherov will be right? I still think he’s got a great chance at it, but I wouldn’t even be willing to put a large wager on a 32 going on 33 McDavid. These are not typical age curves at all.
This list should pretty much be U25 players and McDavid since it seems like he’s asking who will score 100 points 5 years from now.
100 is the new 80 and still the oldest player to score 100 the last 5 years is 32. These are unreasonable projections unless they add even more rule changes. Even Crosby failed to do it between 33-37 (although he came very close) in this new NHL, and that’s one of the greatest forwards of all time.Scoring is rising, so 100 is the new 80.
In 5 years, he'll be nearing retirement. Safe bet he'll do it at least a couple times before then, but after then... I'm not so sure.Kucherov on pace > 100 for each of last 7 seasons (including this one), and his game doesn't rely on physical abilities as much as some others on the list. But most people still don't believe in him.
