That's awesome. We are so lucky to have won the right to select him.
Barring injury, I think he can get to 6 easily. He has to be the favorite again for next year, and probably the next few years still. Gaudreau and Huberdeau had amazing totals this year, but both of those were career years for them (16 and 23 more than their previous best). Kaprizov is an interesting one - he's only 25 and who knows how much better he will get. I looked at Mackinnon - was shocked to see he never hit 100 points. 3 straight with 90+ topping out at 99 (he has had 3 seasons with an 82 game pace over 100 points though).
I think until someone like Connor Bedard comes in to challenge him in a few years, McDavid will be the odds on favourite every year. With his biggest challenge coming from Draisaitl and Kucherov (2nd best PPG this year at 1.47 behind only McDavid's 1.54)
Not much chance in catching Wayne, but I really believe if he stays healthy he could get to 7.

One thing with Connor is that he seems almost offended to see anyone else's name at the top of the scoring charts. There was a single day where he was passed by Huberdeau and then he had 9-10 points in the next three games. He's a man on a mission about that stuff.
I do think he likely wants to try to pass that Kucherov point total and try to get over 130. If Woodcroft had been here most of the year, I think he would have been higher for sure.
