How Elite would Connor McDavid be in other leagues in the world?
The 153 points Connor McDavid scored this season makes him seem like he was bred to play hockey, a natural from birth.
The Great One, who dominated the WHA before the merger, has been eclipsed by McDavid as Edmonton's most dominant captain.
But what if there was a tool that projected his performance in other leagues?
Typically, NHLe projects a player's production in the NHL, but he could play in any professional league around the world and maintain his dominance.
NHLe predicts ridiculous point totals in some countries upward of 200+, from the Czech Republic to the KHL to Finland.
KHL: 158 points in 68 games
Sweden: 163 points in 52 games
Switzerland: 206 points in 52 games
Czechia: 207 points in 52 games
Finland: 248 points in 60 games
AHL: 277 points in 72 games
OHL: 394 points in 68 games
WHL: 421 points in 68 games
QMJHL: 447 points in 68 games
When he plays again in the juniors, his production in the NHL more than doubles! However, putting him back in the NCAA yields roughly the same results as if he had been in the KHL.
As we already know, McDavid is highly overpowered, so the model predicts his points per game to be between 3.84-6.
