No chance

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Will they start counting giveaways as assists if the other team scores?

Then hell yeah!

 

[Raspewtin]

he’s declining hard and he probably can’t get away with his freelance horse shit with this coach so no

 

[mrmovies779]

He could score 150 and it won't mean shit if he disappears again in the playoffs

 

[EdJovanovski]

Yes purely because he shaved his head

 

[Mandar]

Did you draft him on your fantasy team or something? Cause this is pretty random

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Hell be lucky to be ppg

 

[Harbour Dog]

As long as we're a playoff team, I won't get on his case if he only puts up 60. He's under the microscope in the playoffs though.

 

[DanielBrassard]

No I think its unlikely at this point.

 

[duhmetreE]

I want to be optimistic.

His PP production will be there IMO.

His 5v5 production has much more potential

So, yes. He breaks 100

 

[CLW]

100 points will make people feel good. I doubt it will happen even if he has a good season. The playoffs is where it's at for him this season.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

No his production will drop for a 5th straight season. It’s way more likely he’s sub point a game than it is that he hits 100.

Don’t have a ton of faith in him rehabbing his game. I just hope he can catch fire at the right time.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Resounding no

 

[NickyFotiu]

I do not think so and in some ways I'm very fine with him not. I really want to see better 5 on 5 play from our whole team. In some ways I think all the PP points are misleading our team in to being better than they are overall. I do not want to be a team overly dependant on our PP and goalie. I'd like our team to find a way to have more balance.

When the team is 3-6-3 and averaging 1.82 goals per game, he'll allow the freelancing again like Gallant did.

Two things need to happen for Panarin to hit 100. First is he needs to be healthy and play all 82 games. He would have easily gotten to 100 his first season here if he had played the full season. His 2nd season he was pacing 113 points had he played all 82. Would have probably broke 100 in season 3. Second, he needs a complimentary center a la Ryan Strome, but more of a Ryan Strome+ to access high level Panarin. He's failed 4 seasons to find that chemistry with Zib so unless Chytil breaks out this season a BIG BIG way, I just don't see it happening. We are also talking about an older Panarin - I don't think physically Panarin is showing any wear and tear but mentally, he's not getting stronger. He's never been a mentally strong guy to begin with.

 

[LokiDog]

I personally feel that, while his numbers have been relatively stable, the quality of his game has begun to decline. Not that he doesn’t have years remaining as a top producer, but he’s not the force he was. It wouldn’t shock me if he hit 100 points, but I certainly wouldn’t bet on it. Meanwhile, unless his actual game itself looks a lot better, more engaged, more willing to shoot, visit traffic areas, etc. and unless he shows up in the playoffs, I genuinely hope he doesn’t hit 100 points because I’ll never hear the end of “how many 100 point players do we get, you wanna trade him???!!” from the crowd who ignores how a player actually performs and looks on the ice and only cares about what the score sheet says.

 

[CasusBelli]

75-85 is more realistic. He’s too slow to be effective 5v5 and is at the mercy of an effective power play, which I can’t see improving. So my guess is:

15-25 | 55-65 | 75-85

Depending on his skew toward playmaking.

 

[turcotte8]

Then hell yeah!

He'd break Gretzky's record by the all star game.

 

[Leonardo87]

Panarin has made me realize points are overrated in this league. Have seen players bust their ass in games and can not get a point to save their lives. Here comes Panarin, makes a little pass to Fox who then makes a heads up play on a Mika goal. It’s just not right.

With that said, hope he saves a lot of those points for the playoffs.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

I don't even think he's going to hit 70 this year.

 

[TopShelfSnipes]

Unlikely at this point. Plus he's very dependent on assists, and I just don't see this team having the finishers to get him there even if he comes back far better than last year.

 

[Jauffre]

My god this forum's faith in Panarin is at an all-time low.. sad to see.

 

[SA16]

Of course he can but it depends entirely on how many minutes he’s going to play and if the pp keeps having the same success. He scored 2.5 pts/60 at 5v5 last year (better than all but one of his pre NYR years) and is always among the non-edm leaders on the pp. not likely though.
