re:100pts.
The first imprtant thing about hitting 100pts is the distribution.
Typically, players are looking at about 60 ESP + 40 PPP.
If you look at the range of players that have hit 90 recently, MOST (not all), have had about 30-40 PPP.
But the more key number is ESP... a guy has to be able to put up close to 60 ESP.
Without MSL, I don't see Stamkos being able to do this - he's out, IMO.
Ovechkin's ESP is trending way down - he's out, IMO.
Malkin... I just don't see him playing 70 games any more -he's out, IMO.
And the young prospects, Mackinnon is out, IMO, because the Western Conf is too defensively sound, COL is deep which limits his minutes, and if he plays C - I don't think he can do it.
Tavares or McDavid.
re: McDavid - it will depend where he goes.
I'll say Tavares, but I believe he will need a dynamic PP-D man to help him to 40 PPP... and I don't see that currently.
That said - if the Isles happen to magically sign Dan Boyle... it's a possibility for an 82game season.
