Crosby's point total was the equivalent of getting a point on 75 percent of an average team's goals. He actually had points on just over half of Rimouski's goals; they were an offensive machine that year.

OHL, 2014–15: 4,474 goals scored in 680 games played, or 6.58 total GPG. The average team scored 224 goals, and McDavid was third in league scoring with 120 points – nine points behind the leader, teammate Dylan Strome. McDavid's point total was equivalent to getting a point on 54 percent of an average team's goals. Like Rimouski in '04-05, Erie was an offensive machine this year; McDavid actually had points on just 36 percent of the Otters' goals.

tl;dr: The OHL this year was actually a higher-scoring league than the QMJHL in Crosby's time. McDavid did not even come close to dominating the OHL the way Crosby dominated the Q. He did have similar numbers to what Crosby put up in '03-04.

Thanks.

That makes me feel quite optimistic, considering how well Ehlers has been doing this year.
