If we stay healthy...
Hartnell (25-25-50) - Giroux (25-60-85) - Voracek (25-45-70)
Schenn (20-25-45) - Lecavalier (20-35-55) - Simmonds (30-25-55)
Laughton (10-15-25) - Couturier (15-25-40) - Read (25-20-45)
Rinaldo (3-7-10) - Hall (2-5-7) - Talbot (8-7-15)
Timonen (9-36-45) - Schenn (5-10-15)
Streit (8-32-40) - Coburn (3-7-10)
Gustafsson (5-15-20) - Grossmann (1-4-5)
So 239 goals...
In 2007-08 that puts us 10th in offense. (We were 6th with 248 goals.)
In 2008-09 that puts us 16th in offense. (We were 5th with 264 goals.)
In 2009-10 that puts us 8th in offense. (We were 10th with 236 goals.)
In 2010-11 that puts us 11th in offense. (We were 3rd with 259 goals.)
In 2011-12 that puts us 8th in offense. (We were 3rd with 264 goals.)
In 2012-13 that puts us 8th in offense. (We were 10th pacing for 227 goals.)
Maybe my projections are a bit pedestrian. I could see us being top 5 in the NHL in scoring with that offense.
They seem pretty fair and likely... I would make some amendments though. (just off what I think, assuming PPG over 82 equates, so effectively assuming everyone plays 82.)
I'd give Vinny an extra 5 goals, extra 5 assists (just off the consistency of his last 5 years... each one has been within an 8% range to the one previous (in points), points: 71, 70, 68, 63 and 67 points per 82.)
I'd knock Schenn up to 20 points, by adding 5 assists (last 4 years averaged 18-24 points, even first year averaged 16. Also averaged over 13 assists every year.)
I'd give Coburn an extra 10 points, making him have 20, I think that is most likely from 09-12 stats (assuming last year a blip)
Id knock Grossmann up to 10 points overall. (Just off past production.)
An extra 30 points for players, so about an extra 12 goals... 5 more from Vinny, 2 more for Coburn, 1 more for Grossmann and the other 4 to other players!
That would give us 251, top 5 most years... those extra 12 really make a difference! I do think my prediction is a little optimistic, maybe by 5-10 goals or so.
