Kopitar point projection ranking this season

[apollo18]

For me, its been relatively hard to project points because of the 56 game season. sometimes we get really high scoring during a short season or it could also be the opposite. I prefer to rank a player based on his peers etc

For example last season the top centremen ranked between 10 and 20 based on points were

10. Aho 66p
Pettersson 66p
Stamkos 66p
Point 64p
Barkov 62p
Kopitar 62p
Nuge 61p
ROR 61p
Tavares 60p
Barzal 60p
20. Toews 60p

just for reference sake. ranked at 30 was Claude Giroux with 53p


So where would you rank Kopi this year for the 56 game season based on points for only centreman?


does he keep the hot streak going for another high points per game? or regress to his average etc

Top 20 feels certain. Maybe top 15. He'll fall out of top 10 I think as the Kings go through their struggles. They have a lot of games against Vegas coming up.

Top 10. He's a top 10 center in the league.

I feel like he always had a lull in January(and it's hard to blame him with all of the minutes he plays) so it will be interesting to see if he avoids that slump with the shortened season. I think that Tmac is going to hopefully spread the minutes a bit once he gets some other lines that he can trust. I think Kopitar will end up near top 10 in points, but not quite there.

Anything less than #1 is a bust imo
