I always kind of figured Nico’s absolute ceiling offensively would be about 70 points. So with him sitting at 66 with 12 games left to play I’m indeed very happy with this version of him. He should probably finish with around 75 points. What I’m most curious about is where he’ll be in the Selke voting. I’d say Nico, Bergeron, Pettersson, and Marner are the top candidates, just not sure the order.
Oh and btw Nico now has 9 GWG on the season. That’s tied for 2nd in the league. Only Draisaitl has more with 10.
