Point Projections

I hope for BUF sake and the extension they just gave him that Thompson does quite a bit better than that.

I hope Cozens and Skinner are higher but that's probably not 2 far off.

Power, Tuch and Thompson seem low. But hey...put in the effort at least.

@Skyraider112 Excellent job.
IMO Asplund is the only player who may not achieve your expectations.
Add in 5 goals that are not credited to a player when a team wins in a SO the team scores 259 goals or 27 more than last year, very reasonable.
I noticed you predicted the SV% instead of the GAA.
Lers presume as a squad Comrie/Anderson/Luukkonen GAA is 3.1, the team would surrender 254 goals, 36 fewer than last year.
With 259 GF and 254 GA A final record of 37-35-10 should be achievable. Tuch was certainly the catalyst for that top line.
Skinner pre Tuch 30 games 9 goals, 8 assists,17 pts projects to 25 goals over 82 games; post Tuch 50 games 24 goals, 22 assists, 46 pts projects to 40 goals over 82 games.
Thompson pre Tuch 27 games 10 goals, 8 assists, 18 pts projects to 30 goals over 82 games; post Tuck 48 games 28 goals, 22 assists, 50 pts projects to 48 goals over 82 games.
I would not expect them to achieve those lofty goals but 30 and 25 respectively should be and easy bar to leap.

Olofsson and Hinostroza both had better seasons last year, and Olofsson was injured for half of the year and tried to play through it. If he’s healthy I don’t see any reason why he would have a worse season this year. Maybe Hinostroza doesn’t see as many games which explains his drop in production, but Björk shouldn’t even see any games in the NHL unless there’s a massive number of injuries so he shouldn’t be taking any ice time away from better players, which is literally anyone else on this list.

Olofsson could get 50-55 points, but I think 45 is a tempered view. If he plays with Mitts and Krebs like I have in this AGM, they would get lots of OZ starts and hardly any DZ starts, which probably means that lines scores a bit more than I projected. Here Hino is playing on the shutdown/grinding line, I don't envision him producing as much as he did when he was playing with guys like Cozens. Bjork is a healthy scratch, I don't see him getting any more games than absolutely necessary, but injuries do happen so pencil him in for some games, 5 points is likely too high for him unless he ends up playing like 30+ games which would be an L
