Less Obvious NHL Expectations For Oilers' Connor McDavid In 2026-27

Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers is expected to surpass 100 points in the 2026-27 NHL season, with a typical output of 25-35 goals and 75-85 assists considered standard for him. Beyond offensive production, the Oilers are asking McDavid to step up his leadership and off-ice presence as the team aims to win the Stanley Cup after reaching the final in two of the past three seasons. McDavid is also expected to fully commit to new head coach Mike Babcock as Edmonton looks to take the next step.
