Who will be the 100th player with 1000 points?

[alko]

McDavid is 99th player in League history to reach the 1,000-point milestone. It is very possible, we will see 100th player this season. Maybe more.

Question is, who will win this race?

For now:
Brad Marchand - 942 points
Nathan MacKinnon - 932 points
Jamie Benn - 915 points
Corey Perry - 909 points
Nikita Kucherov - 897 points
Brent Burns - 886 points
Leon Draisaitl - 872 points

Benn, Perry, Burns are very unlikely. Draisaitl must have insane season (150 points) to make it. But who knows? He plays with McJesus.

Marchand needs only 58 points. But his point to game ratio isn't such high, he will be first.

It looks like MacKinnon is the top dog, if he stays healthy. But we shouldn't underestimate Kucherov.

Lane Hutson has to be getting close no?

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

MacKinnon will get there before Marchand.

Kucherov would have to fall out a window to not get it.

Perry seems unlikely to keep up his 20 points a year pace for another four seasons, but if anyone could muster the pure spite to make it’s work, it’s CP10/24/94

Looking at their current numbers and production, Mack should be first. Mack, Kuch and Marchand could (should) all be there by the end of the season. Crazy. Drai is probably a little bit too far.

Ummm,

Jamie Benn had had 78 and 60 points the last two years, but is only on pace for about 40 this year. Since he is going down about 20 points per year at this rate, he might get 20 next year, so it would take him 3 years to get to 1000. That is, unless he becomes selfish as he gets closer.

Nate.

 

[hamzarocks]

Mackinnon, Marchand and Kucherov should hit this year

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Just to make the math a bit more digestible:


These are the players who will likely hit 1000 this season:
Marchand 58 points to go - 13 this season - 71 points for 1000
MacKinnon 68 points to go - 33 this season - 101 points for 1000
Kucherov 103 points to go - 24 this season - 127 points for 1000

MacK i reckon

This should've been McDavid! Phil Kessel has been trying to get a contract ever since he won the cup back in 2022, but nobody was willing to sign him so he could hit 1000 career points. Now we get a far less deserving player who gets the honor of being the 100th player to hit 1000 career points...

IF covid shutdown didnt happen, McDavid could've beat Pavelski for being the 97th player to hit 1000. think that wouldve been more serendipitous.

Brad Marchand - 942 points
Nathan MacKinnon - 932 points
Jamie Benn - 915 points
Corey Perry - 909 points
Nikita Kucherov - 897 points
Brent Burns - 886 points
Leon Draisaitl - 872 points

In order of likeliness this season

1. MacK
2. Kucherov

That's it. I don't think Perry, Burns or Benn get there. Marchand needs 2 seasons but I think he will eventually. Drai should hit it by Halloween (assumign it isn't another shit start for the OIlers)
