How high McDavid climbs on the all-time list depends on a few factors, chief among them health. Paul Pidutti — Adjusted Hockey on X — gave McDavid 50/50 odds of reaching 1,921 points, which would tie him with Jaromir Jagr for second all-time.

McDavid became the 999th player to reach the 1,000-point plateau in NHL history. Only legends Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Mike Bossy have reached the mark faster. The Oilers star has lived up to the billing that was advertised for him when he first came into the league as the first overall pick in the 2015 draft.

The 27-year-old McDavid reached the milestone in his 659th game. Wayne Gretzky was the fastest at 424 games, followed by Mario Lemieux at 513, and Mike Bossy at 656.
