Annual Preseason Poll- Who will lead NYR in scoring in 2023-2024

[Fitzy]

Okay folks you know the deal by now, it's time to see how good we are at predicting NYR's leading scorer. Last year the poll went overwhelmingly for Panarin, but he ended up edging out Mika by only 1 point. Fox had a great year but wasn't in striking distance.

Vitali Kravtsov

Panarin in the regular season, but I think I would take both Kreider and Fox over him in the playoffs.

I'll take Blake Wheeler for $400, Alex

 

[Profet]

It will be Zib.

Kakko will take the leap this year and that line will flourish.

Panarin will be tied to Laf for at least a few games before complaining (rightfully) that Laf doesn't do any of what he needs from a line mate.
Having two off wings on the same line is going to lead to so many failed backhand passes in the neutral zone.

Eventually Laf will be replaced by Vesey or Goodrow and Panarin (and Chytil) will be stuck with those black holes of offense.

Fox.

Followed by Zibanejad and Panarin.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Fox: 8 goals, 80 assists, 88 points

Zib: 41 goals, 43 assists, 84 points

Panarin: 22 goals, 60 assists, 82 points

Panarin is still going to rack up a ton of PP points to be ahead of the others.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Panarin, he's still our best forward even in a diminished state from him MVP days

 

[CasusBelli]

Fox: 8 goals, 80 assists, 88 points

Zib: 41 goals, 43 assists, 84 points

Panarin: 22 goals, 60 assists, 82 points

Delightfully reasonable as an onlooker yet disappointing as a fan.

Why?

None of that really tells you anything other than Panarin is in decline (which we know already.)

Entirely possible that the people behind those 3 have taken a step or 2 up.

I wouldn't expect overwhelming point totals from any of our forwards.

To compete for the cup, I’d expect at least a few 90 point guys or one 100 point guy and a few 80 point guys, unless we operate under an ironclad defense (Torts style). I don’t see any of those that happening, which tells me we should have sold, as the value of our veterans declines every year.

How many 90 point players did last years cup winner have?

I’d argue that the depth is way more important

I don’t see us having meaningful depth with the decline of veterans, frankly, and KK is the only potential upside surprise I see. So, all in all, more downs than ups. All we can do is cheer on our lads.

No 80s or 70s either.

We’ll have some in that range. A solid D and all world goalie could be enough

This is fair.

Their top players were either hurt a lot of the year or played half the season, Eichel. Eichel is a 80-90 point player.

Igor Shesterkin:
105 points.
3 Goals and 102 Assists

went with bald bread

 

[Kodiak]

I'm thinking that Panarin has a big year, mainly because I don't want to hear about whatever the hell else he winds up shaving if he has another disappointing year.
