Will Connor McDavid win the Art Ross this season?

[McPoyle]

Didn't McDavid only miss 3 games?

Really was 4 games. He was injured in the first shift of a game against Columbus and played 37 seconds. Missed that game then the next 3.

Surprised so many are counting him out.

It's shaping up to be a great but race barring injuries he absolutely can make up a 10 point deficit, and then some. Will he? I say he does and wins it by 8+ points. Clearly I'm way past the point of doubting anything he's capable of.

Was surprised when a (mostly) healthy McDavid was only the third best forward in the league last season, despite playing 76 games.

Was very surprised that a healthy McDavid had only 10 points in 10 games this season, before his injury.

Wouldn't be surprised by anything happening this year, whether a healthy McDavid wins or loses the Art Ross race.

Im not counting him out, just taking the field. I think he is the most likely player to win it.

What if he misses 5 more games or something like that? I’d rather have multiple other players going for it than 1.

McDavid had two points per game in the last 60 games of the season and 42 points in the playoffs. That McDavid was the best player in the world still.

I don't disagree with your comment. McDavid had a terrific playoffs for sure, but those are never as long as the regular season is.

Over a full season, it is perfectly reasonable to take the field over McDavid, even if he is healthy.

Actually, it borders on ignoring reality. He’s won five out of the past eight Art Rosses, which means you lose more than you win betting against him.

If we want to really dig in, the guy has lost only one scoring out of those eight that he was totally healthy for (2018-2019). More like “especially if healthy.”

He'll win it
