I think McDavid will get around 75 points next year. He's a ridiculously talented player, the best I've seen in a decade. I wouldn't be surprised to see Eichel hit 70 or close to it as well.

Hey could be good. Could be really good. Could even be better than all of those players. But in no way does it allow for the "he will, of course.." level of arrogance.
It's very likely. People are usually overly conservative on the great prospects. People said similar things about Crosby. "Oh, Crosby may be a great prospect, but I wouldn't take him over a proven star like Rick Nash."
