Johnny Gaudreau: 2015/16 expectations?
- Thread starter WhiskeyYerTheDevils
- Start date
I'd guess anywhere between 70 and 75 points.
I don't think he'll explode, but he should be able to hit 70 given that he won't be sitting out games at the start of the year, or be relegated to the 4th line/bench like he was at the start of last year.

You can only surprise teams once in the NHL. They all have books on him now. He'll be focused on more.

I think Johnny is going to go into next season as more of a goal scorer than a playmaker. Last year he was still adjusting to the positioning/stickwork of defenseman and the amount of space NHL goalies take up on the strong side. He really found what works and what doesn't as March/April went along.

Yup that's what you wrote and, regardless of what meaning you're trying to associate to it, it doesn't really hold any water.

I think between 60-70 pts. However down the road, I could totally see him being a ppg guy. This kid oozes talent like I haven't seen in years. Not many Kane-like players in the game today, but he's one of them. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if he was in Art Ross contention one day (not next season) like Kane was this past season.
I think it's kind of neat that him and Stone are probably going to be compared to each other for a long time, similar to how Ovy and Crosby were when they first came into the league. It'll be interesting to compare both their careers in a couple years.

I think we've only scratched the surface on Gaudreau. In college he had about 1/1.5/2 ppg in years 1/2/3, I can just see him outperforming himself by a great margin and go up to 1 ppg, but ending with about the same amount of points due to missing 10-15 games with a minor injury.

The kid seems to trend up wherever he plays.
I would expect he'll probably finish between 78 and 80 points, but his goals to assist ratio will increase now that he's more comfortable with shooting the puck.

He is a great player ,dont get me wrong but 80 points .Even Crosby had a tough time getting to that number
This seems right to me. Calgary had a dream season that likely gave everyone a little boost (see Avs two years ago) which is probably not sustainable. That said, Gaudreau is a legit hockey savant and will settle in as 75 pt player as Calgary nurtures what is sure to be a very promising core of talent.
