Confirmed with Link: Lucas Raymond signs 8 year extension

[Steve Yzerlland]

I'd be ok with 148 points

Too conservative.

 

[RedHawkDown]

I think this contract is going to be the real steal between this and Seider's. Raymond has that "it" factor IMO that you see stars possess. At the end of last season he was really putting it together and starting to truly dominate games I dont think we've seen anybody in Detroit do since the days of Datsyuk/Zetterberg.

I expect 80+ points of him this year and an outside chance at 90+, with strong 2 way play. I think in 3 years this is regarded as one of the best contracts in the league, much like Jack Hughes.

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

If he keeps up this rate of production his contract is amazing.

 

[drw13]

Can’t believe the odds on this. I wanted him for 80+ points but couldn’t find it on there.

Are people actually surprised by the production? I thought the contract looked fantastic right away. I see a player capable of 100+ points for a career high

 

[Henkka]

Raymond had a huge hot streak at last season end.

If I include this to current season scoring (31 last team games) The Top10 scoring at NHL would be:

1. Kucherov 51p
2. Kaprizov 49p
3. MacKinnon 48p
4. Marner 44p
5. Eichel 43p
6. Panarin 41p
7. Necas 40p
8. Reinhart 39p
9. Bratt 39p
10. Raymond 38p
-----------------
11. Rantanen 37p
12. D.Strome 37p
13. Hagel 37p
14. Draisaitl 36p
15. B.Tkachuk 36p

And Lucas is by far the youngest player of all these names mentioned. So we can think the potential is sky-high, to become one of the best players at NHL, when he will reach his prime. After 5 years, he could be there at Kucherov/Kaprizov class, when we look this again.

 

[Snuggs]

Hell of a year, Laughed at posters who said he could trend towards 90 points... Believe it was Datsyuk that first said it, well well well look who's laughing now ay?

I haven't taken the time to check this, but where is McDavid? Not sure what stats you're using but he's got 31 points this season alone

 

[RRhoads]

Yeah, I did a quick check too. It's flawed. Makar is missing too.

 

[SwedeChristoffer]

He was sitting out a bunch (resting for playoffs) at the end of last season.

I can replicate his results by going to naturalstattricks, and filter for forwards, and separate team results (there's a few Utah / coyotes players that are also on that list).

Player Season Totals - Natural Stat Trick

Without the filters I think he was 15th highest scorer in last 31 games.
Very cherry picking, but I guess shows his potential.

The problem with this kind of bet is if he misses 15-20 games you're f***ed.

 

[SoupGuru]

Trade Larkin and slap a C on Raymond

 

[Tetsuo]

12 points in his last 8. He's at over PPG right now and might have more in the tank, is it time to start talking about him not just being a star but a potential superstar? He's looked terrific.

SUPERSTAR LOADING

BUMP

 

[KJoe88]

Raymond has the best chance at cracking a 100pts since who…

Stevie? I know Pavs and Hank never got 100, but they were damn close.

If not this year probably within the next two years of his career. It then again he does remind me of Datsyuk and Z. Responsible and balanced player who may sacrifice a few points for the good of the team.

Fedorov has the last two 100 point seasons. Won the Selke both years...

 

[Henkka]

Currently the best scorer from 2020 draft class.

Leading Larkin by 9 points, yes it's a surprise for me

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

He’s a budding superstar, and that pass the other night to Johansson just shows it.

 

[Henkka]

Currently Raymond is scoring more than Kucherov at same age.

Kucherov became over a point-per-game player not until as 23-year old.

Raymond is one year ahead.

 

[FabricDetails]

Would like for him to do some tampering in less than a month at the Four Nations tournament, plz.
