30-35pts this year.... possibly as high as 40...

all depends on his condition and mental preparation for the season.

I wonder if he's in game shape right now. Did not see and video of him so hard to tell if he hit the Twinkies hard this summer or not.
 
Carlyle is a very systematic coach who matches lines a lot. i don't think Kessel to see much icetime against top lines like he's faced against some teams, and his +/- should improve. I expect he'll also be kept away from top pairings as much as possible.

There's something to be said for competent coaching.

We really saw what Carlyle could do last year.:shakehead He was terrible. Granted he took over late in the season, but the Leafs played the worst I've seen under Carlyle.
 
The chubby pant load is gonna start slow, have issues with the new D system and the compressed sched.

30/35 points this year.
 
His on pace for fell to 22 goals after Carlyle came in.

He won't be the same under Randy as he was under Ron.
 
voted 50+ thinking wtf he got PPG last year what do you think, forgot about 48 games, I'd say 40-45 barring injuries
 
It really makes no sense to me why people need more than 15-20 games to evaluate a coach. :sarcasm:



You mean after Lupul got injured?



people are writing kessel off since randy came in
randy even said in post season news conference "alot of poeple think me and phil would not get along"
kessel will be fine IMO
plus, wilson liked to roll 4 lines, carlyle will use kessel more than ron, randy gives like 5 minutes to the 4th line throughout the game
the 2nd and third lines are about evenly split
I would not be surprised if phil plays even better under randy's style
pumped for the season
go leafs go
 
Who cares.....it is a team game and that is what he will be told by Carlyle.....Carlyle has always allowed his thoroughbreds to run and insists that his plow horse to plow.
 
He's peaking, possibly still rising as a star. His teammat Lupul returns beside him. Unless a move happens, Bozak also remains and he still hasn't hit his ceiling.

I know people may think I'm being optimistic, but honestly, I think he'll have an even better year this year over last. For a full season, I'd guess 45-50 goals, 95 pts. I might be the lone voter for it, but I say 50+ pts.

Could be just the hockey returning though, ha ha.

I agree with this. I think Kessel is still a rising star. I think in a short season he will contend for hardware, like the Richard trophy.

I expect 50+ pts. ~35 goals.
 
2009-2010: (70GM - 30g,25a) = Goal every 2.3 games / Assist every 2.8 games
2010-2011: (82GM - 32g,32a) = Goal every 2.6 games / Assist every 2.6 games
2011-2012: (82GM - 37g,45a) = Goal every 2.2 games / Assist every 1.8 games

Averaged roughly a goal every 2.4 games played in that span.
Averaged roughly an assist every 2.4 games played in that span.

48/2.4=20

Therefore, he should hit atleast 20 goals and 20 assists in a 48 game schedule.


Edit: My prediction? 23 goals and 27 helpers.

How many points did Kessel have after 48 games last season? I just know it was more than a ppg, so I think he kills it this season with a 50+ point season...the question is if he can keep his 30 goal season streak going in this shortened season...I say yes ;)

No way. New coach. His numbers tale a slight reduction. ;
Around 40 points would be my guess. Maybe 15-20 goals. If any one gets 20 g it will be a huge accomplishment.
