I mean, the guy has 72 points in 37 games, his linemates obviously benefit greatly from that. Drai and RNH are both centers. I would think the majority of the points they get off of McDavid would only come on the power play. Edited January 1, 2023 by Nicomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you think so as well since you didn’t mention him lol. McDavid does have 37 power play points this far. Fvcking guy is PPG if you take out his 5 on 5 points, that’s astounding.

Which explains why a guy like Jack (whose team’s offense really does all run through him) currently has a higher WAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nothing will ever top the fact that even if you take away every one of Gretzky’s 894 goals he’d still be the all time points leader. That blew my mind when I first heard it.

Even still, that’s the difference between a generational player and a great player. The generational guy likeMcDacid can’t help but improve the players around him. I would add, RNH has never been PPG in his career, so I think his numbers bear some examination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luukkonen is held in pretty high regard in terms of his future. They aren’t going to give that up for a reclamation project that may or may not pan out.
