It’s no secret McDavid is having an all-time great season. But how high, exactly, should we rank it?
than yours truly. While it’s useful to have a peek at the top 20 era adjusted point seasons, simply providing this list and calling it a day isn’t enough for an all-time debate.Adjusted scoring is critical to these conversations. But when talking all-time best, we need to refine things further. Let’s start with some boundaries:
Playmaking is swell, but to be in this exclusive debate, we need our candidates to have a minimum 60 adjusted goals. Goal scoring matters. Era adjustments batter Gretzky’s point total “down” to 163, fourth most all-time. Context matters here. This was the year the living legend won the Art Ross by 63% over second, a personal best. He won the goal scoring crown by 31, the assist title by 32, and scored 79 points more than runner-up, teammate Paul Coffey. Yikes.
What holds Gretzky’s year back is the chaos of the NHL’s shifting landscape at the time. After the 1979 WHA merger, the league had gone from six to 21 teams in just a dozen seasons. The product was certainly diluted and would take a few more years to stabilize and benefit from the ongoing influx of European talent.We’ve arrived at McDavid’s current masterpiece – the fifth-best season of them all.
McDavid has turned the power play into an art form. Since tracking began, this year’s Edmonton power play is No. 1 in history . NHL save percentages once averaged in the .870s. This Oilers unit is still better than any team from that era. A miraculous feat. Goals. Assists. Consistency. Full health. It’s been over two decades since a forward — Jaromir Jagr — delivered a complete performance that holds up historically.
