Leon might win the MVP and Lindsay for the second time this season.
Leon will probably score at least 50 goals this season for the second time.
Leon might win the Rocket Richard trophy for the first time this year.
Leon was on pace for 123 pts last year in 82. He's technically on pace for 173 pts this year. I don't think he will get 173 pts but could he "slow down" and score 130, maybe 140? Probably
This from a guy who apparently was overpaid and a player who the Oilers shouldn't have drafted in the first place in eyes of some people. I always laugh when I think about the arguments I got into with some people back then about those very things. Thank god the Oilers drafted him and they signed him long term to probably the best contract in the NHL.
The Oilers didn't get a lot right back then but they sure got Leon right.

Imagine if he was signed for Mackinnon money though. That was a great comparable back then. People can argue about buying the UFA years and say that he played his way into making the deal a value, but it was the absolute top of the market the day it was signed, arguably even above that.
Nurse signed a $9 million deal and hasn't earned the money so far this year. If in 3 years time he's getting Norris votes regularly and putting up consistent points, then it isn't so egregious, right now he's overpaid, just like Leon was.
All that said, I wouldn't trade leon for anybody in the league at this point.
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
