Brayden Point is one of the best young players in the NHL. Over the last two seasons, he is 11th among skaters with at least 500 minutes in primary scoring rate. That’s two spots behind Nikita Kucherov and three behind Connor McDavid. In that same time frame, he also ranks 11th among skaters in Wins Above Replacement (WAR) according to Evolving Hockey, and 18th according to Corsica. At this point, anyone who doesn’t know that Brayden Point is a great player is already late.
One of the reasons that Point still might not be getting the attention that he deserves is that he scored 66 points last season.
