Connor McDavid has a knack for elevating his game after setbacks, and following his recent Stanley Cup Final loss, insiders believe he could aim for 200 points this season.
During a discussion about Shohei Ohtani’s remarkable MLB season, Elliotte Friedman suggested that a comparable feat in hockey would be 100 goals and 100 assists, something only McDavid might achieve. While this milestone seems far-fetched, McDavid is the only player who could realistically reach it, as only Wayne Gretzky has recorded a 200-point season.
A more attainable target for McDavid would be scoring 50 goals and 100 assists in a single season, a benchmark met by Gretzky eight times and Mario Lemieux once. McDavid has achieved both milestones but not in the same year.
This season, McDavid has adjusted his training regimen after acknowledging that overtraining last year led to a slow start. With renewed focus, he’s set on improving right from the beginning. Following a close playoff run, McDavid is motivated for a standout year, eyeing both the Stanley Cup and personal scoring achievements.
