If Crosby plays all 10 of Pittsburgh's remaining games, and maintains his points per game, he will get to 85 points, no one else is on pace for more.
The lowest ever total for an Art Ross winner is 94, in 2003-2004, as far as I can tell. Every full season after the 2004 lockout has had at least one 100 point player, and the 2013 shortened season had one player on pace for a 100 point season.
I think this should be taken into account when talking about career seasons, since overall scoring in the league is down.
