While this is the time of year for bold NHL predictions, a wild take has been circulating regarding Connor McDavid.
In recent days, there have been multiple NHL commentators from Arda Ocal to Paul Bissonnette musing on the idea that McDavid could reach, or eclipse, 200 points in a single season.
On the surface, that seems difficult to fathom. The Edmonton Oilers superstar is coming off a 153-point campaign that was already one of the best the NHL has ever seen.
It topped his previous career-high by 20 points and McDavid turns 27 in January, suggesting that he is a finished product rather than a player likely to take a massive step forward.
