Connor McDavid is one of the best NHL players in a long time, yet despite being one of the best players every season, he always comes up short when it comes to winning a championship.

It's safe to say that Connor McDavid is still relevant stat-wise, as he has come out on top in both of the recent lists that have been published.

Most goals from a Canadian in the last 3 seasons:

141 � Connor McDavid
102 � Brayden Point
94 � Nathan Mackinnon
93 � Steven Stamkos
92 � Mark Scheifele
89 � Sam Reinhart
88 � Bo Horvat
88 � Sidney Crosby
85 � Mitch Marner
84 � Carter Verhaeghe

Is Sam underrated at this point?

Most 100-point seasons in the last 20 years:

6 � Connor McDavid
6 � Sidney Crosby
4 � Leon Draisaitl
4 � Alex Ovechkin
3 � Nikita Kucherov

It took Crosby 14 seasons to get 6

It took McDavid 8 seasons.

It would seem that McDavid is the Canadian player who has put up the most goals in the last three seasons, and McDavid is on top of that list with 141 goals, which is an incredible accomplishment for the center, who never stops working.

Moreover, McDavid also topped another list, as he and Sidney Crosby tied for the most 100 point seasons in six years, for McDavid and Crosby respectively.

It is hard to stop McDavid because he is a machine.

In order for McDavid to achieve what he hopes this season, he needs a cup. Hopefully Ken Holland will be able to put together the right team for him to accomplish that goal.
