Last season, Connor McDavid shocked the NHL world by putting up over 150 points, a feat that hadn't been done since 1996. What many think is a ceiling for McDavid, Sidney Crosby thinks is just the beginning. Recently, the star made claims that McDavid could still improve on his point total recorded last year.
It's getting harder and harder to score points in the NHL, as the game gets faster and the skill level keeps increasing. Reaching 100 points is a major feat for most players.
If McDavid were to hit 170 points, that's just over 2 points per game, assuming he plays in all 82 games. The last time someone scored more than 170 points was Mario Lemieux in the 1988-89 season, where he recorded an astounding 199 points. If McDavid can surpass this, it will break the 35-year mark the milestone has stood.
As seen on Blade of Steel - "Crosby believes McDavid will hit milestone major point milestone that hasn't been reached since 1989"
