Only concern is the goalies continuing to play well. We had that same concern last season. That said Nedeljovic seems like he's ready for the NHL if something hit the fan.

Wow I know Murray was ready to take over in Pitt but man that was the easiest decision Vegas ever made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 It's ridiculous how good Connor McDavid is and he's STILL only 22. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a medium-take but I think he beats Kucherov's 128 points from last season if he stays healthy. Oilers are doing better but the Tampa Bay approach isn't sustainable. Top notch special teams with average to poor efforts at ES. McDavid and Drai both look like they've taken a step forward in development, Nuge seems to be doing better, but still room for improvement. Thankfully Tippett is the type of coach to keep hounding them until they get it right. Thank god for Ken Holland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most mild take I can think of. McDavid was #2 behind Kucherov last season and he was a little dinged up and Kucherov had a career year.

How many points do you think he could break this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but that's also working under the assumption that Kucherov will again put up 129 points (including 33 on the power play!) and McDavid will again deal with dings this season. I'm not going beekay on this one but 1.5 points per game and a ~120 estimate isn't tough to see at all and not much better than what he did last season. Meanwhile I think Kucherov fades back closer to 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact the NHL is failing at marketing him is pathetic. I get he is in Canada and his team ain't great. But he may be the most talented players since... idk?

Crosby may have had him beat in a few hockey IQ areas, but McDavids physical skills are > than crosby's IMO. The fact he will not get in the playoffs and not be marketed is abysmal.
