McDavid already has three Harts, six Art Ross Trophies and a remarkable 1.537 points per game across 11 seasons. His individual peak is extraordinary, but the shorter career and absence of a Stanley Cup in the supplied record limit his demonstrated longevity and team achievement relative to the established legends.
