1. McDavid wins the scoring race
Move over Patrick Kane, McDavid is primed to become the first sophomore to lead the NHL in scoring since Sidney Crosby
A broken clavicle limited McDavid to 45 games last season, but he still managed 48 points—many of them scored on a line with Benoit Pouliot and Nail Yakupov.
Now McDavid could have Milan Lucic riding shotgun on his line. He could also have the fourth overall pick in 2016, Jesse Puljujarvi, with him.
We all expect McDavid to be on the highlight reels on a nightly basis, but it would be beyond impressive for him to out-score the likes of Kane, Jamie Benn, Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin.
McDavid is far from the odds-on favourite, but I’m boldly predicting he’ll win the Art Ross Trophy.
