Good as he is, I can't see McDavid catching Kucherov, who has has an absolutely ridiculous season, but 50G for Drai is a definite possibility.

McDavid can't catch Kucherov, he's 12 pts behind him. With suspension and being sick, McDavid has missed 4 games. He's at 1.54 pts per game, so missing those 4 cost him at least 6 pts, maybe more. Kucherov would either have to go into a big slump to finish the year or get hurt for McDavid to have a chance to catch him in my opinion. I guess if McDavid turns back the clock and goes 1980's and has nothing but 3 and 4 pt nights, then I guess it's remotely possible but I doubt it.

This is not a reply running down McDavid's play but rather that Kucherov is having a heck of a season.
Even with the missed games;
- McDavid has played 1567 minutes this year Kucherov 1440
- Kucherov does have the lead in PP minutes- 270 to 243
Of course the quality of players with Kucherov is much higher and I think that has more to do with his lead than the lack of games for McDavid.
Anyway, I think McDavid is having a comparable season to the last couple years perhaps playing better year over year. It is really incredible what he is accomplishing considering the lack of support.
Reminds me of Jordan's early years on the Bulls
