How many goals for Stamkos in his first year in Nashville?

[SeanMoneyHands]

The big thing is he won't have Kucherov sending him tape to tape cross ice passes on the PP.

He will still have Josi on the PP.

 

[Albatros]

30 +/- 5 if healthy.

 

[banks]

Hoping for 30+ is reasonable. Expecting 40+ is not.

 

[PensPlz]

30, half of those on the PP.

 

[Three On Zero]

Went 65 for fun, someone picked it before me though.

 

[Regal]

Low 30s makes sense. Losing Kucherov will hurt on the PP, but he’ll still be good there. Should still get something like 18-22 ES goals and 10-15 PP goals.

The big thing is he won't have Kucherov sending him tape to tape cross ice passes on the PP.

He also won't have to compete for PP shots with Point

It'll be a trade off. Will be more of a trigger man but won't be fed the puck as well.

30 +/- 5 if healthy.

I took 30-35 as it seems the most reasonable outcome.

It'll be a trade off. Will be more of a trigger man but won't be fed the puck as well.

Forsberg doesn't play the PP or something?

 

[I am not exposed]

Between 21 and 30. Tampa were right to let him go.

 

[JAK]

0.

Preseason season ending injury

 

[Gnashville]

He also won't have to compete for PP shots with Point

It'll be a trade off. Will be more of a trigger man but won't be fed the puck as well.

Forsberg is a better player and scorer than Point

 

[I am not exposed]

Forsberg is a better player and scorer than Point

Really?

Actually Forsberg is underrated by most.

I have set up a new poll for these players. I think Point will win.

I don't understand your question, are you suggesting Forsberg is a better passer than Kucherov?

Forsberg is a better player and scorer than Point

Agreed. Kucherov is a better player and scorer than Forsberg.

 

[Midnight Judges]

He's turning 34 and getting away from some great players. I think it's reasonable to expect his stats to dip a bit.

 

[Video Nasty]

Less than people think. After missing just 5 games total over the past 3 seasons, he’s due. With this in mind, 27 seems fair.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

He's really not a product of Kucherov. 41-45 for a motivated Stamkos out to prove the Bolts wrong for not valuing him. And it's not like Nashville doesn't also have a bunch of offensive talent.

 

[Gnashville]

Really?

Actually Forsberg is underrated by most.

I have set up a new poll for these players. I think Point will win.

The same people who say Stamkos will decline without Kucherov will say Point is better without noting that he also has Kucherov. Put Forsberg on the Lightening since 2018 and he has multiple 100 point 50 goal seasons

I don't understand your question, are you suggesting Forsberg is a better passer than Kucherov?



Agreed. Kucherov is a better player and scorer than Forsberg.

Kucherov on a completely different level than anyone that has ever played for Nashville

 

[Sky04]

I don't understand your question, are you suggesting Forsberg is a better passer than Kucherov?



Agreed. Kucherov is a better player and scorer than Forsberg.

Huh? It means Fosberg is another trigger man on the PP. So moving from Point to Fosberg is the exact same thing while having a significantly worse passer to deal with.

Ok. So if you're comparing Forsberg to Point, who's your Kucherov comparable?

My premise was that Forsberg replaces Kucherov, and that Nashville doesn't have a comparable to Point which will lead to more opportunities for Stamkos to get more shots.

If you want to compare Forsberg to Point instead then there's an even bigger discrepancy between Kucherov and any other Predator to compete with for shot opportunities.

[CanadienShark]

Low 30s seems reasonable.

 

[Mulletman]

Stamkos is 45 goals away from 600 career goals. Stamkos is out to prove that he's the man. Nashville faces some really weak teams down the stretch and Stamkos has had some really strong goal scoring towards the end of the season several of the last few seasons. 600 career goals in his first season after leaving Tampa would keep stamkos relevant. I say Stamkos surprises everyone and scores 45 goals this season.
