I don't think this is going to be the case. Right now, if you take a look at how things are playing out this season, there's a few ways this could go. 23 in 4 games is the biggest we currently got. I mean, if we're going for the stretch - yes, there's going to be some that are competing. The start  of the season some things are always a little cooky though and I'd imagine we'll see a bit of a slow down. The Q wasn't if someone will do it though. The Q was will Cameron Carter 2 get the job done? Right now he has 14 in 4. If he's thinking about this record being the one he wants to beat, he's going to have to turn it up a little bit. 14 though 4 isn't bad at all. It's actually really good. But if he's gonna go for that, we need to see at least 1 more hit per game on average to start lighting the flame under this story.

The end.

I'll defend Izzy here, because getting that one extra hit per game on average is something that could definitely happen for CC2. Anything is possible with 90 checking and discipline that is as non-existent as possible. One issue will of course be the penalties he'll pick up along the way which hinders his overall ability to get hits. He'll certainly need both luck and some help from the team in the form of his linemates redistributing TPE out of checking and/or a more physical focus in strategy settings, and it's not guaranteed to happen even with that, but I believe it to be within the realm of possibility.
