McDavid is on pace to become one of the best hockey players of all time. Who knows what will happen in 2024-25 when it comes to McDavid. Maybe he finds another gear, maybe he starts focusing on defense, maybe he improves his 200 foot game and leadership, or maybe he finally starts to regress as a hockey player? Out of the following options below, which would improve his legacy the most?
Option 1: McDavid continues on the same path with focus on playmaking and puts up 34+121=155 points, wins the Art Ross, Hart and Ted Lindsay. Then gets eliminated in the 3rd round after putting up 7+28=35 points in he playoffs. Ends up leading all players in points in the playoffs, despite not making the finals.
Option 2: McDavid is back! Puts up 72+97=169 points, wins the Art Ross, Rocket, Hart and Ted Lindsay. Comes up short and gets eliminated in the first round after putting up 7+7=14 points in 7 playoff games.
Option 3: McDavid focuses more on his defensive game, puts up 40+82=122 points +57 and 9 shorthanded goals. 4th in overall points but wins the Selke. Follows it up by getting eliminated in the 2nd round, but puts up 9+20= 29 points in just 14 games and becomes the first player to lead the playoff in points while playing just 2 rounds.
Option 4: McDavid is on fire! Puts up 45+76=121 points in his first 41 games, then gets injured and is out for the rest of the year missing out on the playoffs. Ends up 3rd in points and gets nominated for both the Hart and Ted lindsay but does not win either trophy.
Option 5: McDavid takes a step back and puts up just 30+85=115 points and is just 6th in overall points and doesn't get nominated for any awards. But in the playoffs McDavids is on fire with a record breaking performance of 22+27=49 points in 25 playoff games. McDavid wins his 2nd Conn Smythe but the Oilers lose in the finals once again, this time against Carolina.
Option 6: McDavid has a solid regular season putting up 48+98=146 points, wins the Art Ross but loses the Hart and Ted Lindsay to Matthews, who finally scores 70+ goals. McDavid underperforms in the playoffs putting up 21 points in 24 games. The Oilers win the cup, but Draisaitl is seen as the hero who carries them to the cup and wins the Conn Smythe with 39 points. Bouchard also outscores McDavid in the playoffs.
Option 7: McDavid battles nagging injuries the whole season and sits out now and then playing just 61 games but still puts up a solid 30+68= 98 points. The injuries get worse so McDavid sits out most of the playoffs but once the Oilers are down 3-1 in the finals, McDavid returns and puts up 3+3= 6 points in the final 3 games scoring timely goals and helping the Oilers win the cup. But Draisaitl wins the Conn Smythe and HfBoards sees it as McDavid having a somewhat "2020 Stamkos run" to win the Cup.
