I just went with the roster that NSH currently has, though I bet Tomasino doesn't last long in the AHL and will make his way back onto the roster (which would affect some of these numbers). I also don't see these being the lines all year, but that's what they're going with currently-- just focusing on point projections here.

Oh how I hope for a breakout season from Tolvanen. This could finally be his year. I have to agree with that projection for him though. He’ll be in the 35-50 point range I believe.

It's only been two games, but he's looked solid-- had a nice goal + assist and is getting good ice time, so hopefully that continues.
I think Jeannot will see a regression in his points totals. His shooting % from last season was unsustainably high, and with a stronger 2nd line the Herd likely won't be leaned on as heavily this year. If he gets lots of PP time, it could make up the difference. If not, the silver lining is that his next contract could be a better bargain.
