Nolan Patrick Expectations

[FLYguy3911]

I'll go with 39. I think he'll hover around .5 PPG but I don't expect him to play all 82 games.

PP2 and/or 5v5 scoring will really have to pick up for him to get much more than that imo.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Getzlaf was 20 when he played his rookie year turned 21 later in that year during May. Vinny was mostly 18 as an April birthday for his rookie year. Staal like Patrick will be was 19 most of his first year as a late birthday. Patrick will actually be 19 during all of it. Staal turned 19 the end of October that year.

 

[Delete99991]

40 points would be a huge success, unless they plug him in on PP1 or something.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Staal and Lecavalier also played in tougher scoring environments during their rookie seasons.

 

[trostol]

37-42 points i think

Who will be Patrick's main competition for the Calder? Trying to think of older rookies who could make their team this year.
I'd say Hischier, Puljujarvi, Lindblom, Keller...
On D maybe Chabot and Sergachev.
Who else?

Stolarz.

That's a very good list. I'd add PLD with the Jackets maybe.

Puljujarvi isn't eligible. He played 28 games in the NHL last year (25 is the limit).

Pierre-Luc Dubios, Charlie McAvoy, Tyson Jost, Dylan Strome, Matthew Barzal, Kyle Connor, Evgeni Svechnikov, Joel Ericsson-Ek, Colin White, & Jack Roslovic could be some notable rookies next year.

It should be an easier title to win next year compared to these last I would think just scanning over the potential names.

 

[Pantokrator]

I second 42 points. 15 goals, 27 assists.

 

[BernieParent]

As much as I would love that, it is still jumping the gun.

Nico Hischier might have Taylor Hall on his LW for all we know for example.

And the Zamboni on RW. With sweet cinder-block feeds from Rev Lovejoy.

 

[David St Hubbins]

The thing I just realized about 15 seconds ago is that with him on the team, we will most likely be on NBC a few more times than we would have been, which means that I will be exposed to that penis a few more times this season, which means that you should expect a hurricane of asterisks. I would like to apologize now, ahead of time, because it will be stupid.

Ahh, **** it

Ugh I am dreading all of the knob-slobbing NBC will be doing over that squirrel looking **** McAvoy next season. It was unbearable in his brief stint. Youd think we were witnessing the second coming of Bobby Orr.

He's pretty good.

 

[Rebels57]

He's pretty good.

He is good. His hockey sense is elite. Does have his flaws though and I expect they will rear their heads over his first full season.

They hype up everybody worth hyping up. If you're an American they're going to go even more with it it on NBC.

So true.

One thing I like about McAvoy is how he picks his spots to activate on offense. His shot and hands are average though.

 

[dats81]

I expect something in the area of 35 points in a protected role with some PP2 usage.

Lots of Veteran bodies still around that he will have to push for playing time.

Sanheim.

 

[David St Hubbins]

15g, 22 a, and a +8.

 

[Bevans]

He is ours and we should all be pretty pumped to have him.

While doing some research on him over the season it was really difficult to come to a consensus on what people think of him. Some think he is a franchise number 1 center, others think he is in the RNH tier.

I have some mixed feelings about him. i think we are going to inevitably compare him to our current number 1 c, but they are very different and I believe they compliment one another well.

Going forward I don't ever think Nolan Patrick will be the monster pp player that giroux is. I think in the future Konecny is going to run the power play. Patrick on the other hand i feel like should be much more consistent at even strength. I expect atleast 43-53 points at even strength during his prime years.

pp points i expect anywhere between 17-27.

so in essences at 60- to 80 point scorer. who is responsible in his own end.

Give me that and I am happy.

I like how OP starts out all reasonable saying he won't be a "Monster PP Player" then casually suggests he'll get up to 27 PP points, which would tie him for 8th place in NHL this year with Connor Mcdavid, Draisaitl and Karlsson.

How many will Konecny score?

 

[kammy]

First, I'd like to thank the NHL and Gary Bettman for Flyers getting some overdue draft luck... we finally got our Patrick!

Next, I'd like to thank Lou and the Jersey Devils organization.. for gifting us two Wheat Kings studs, Provorov and Patrick - by opting to select Zacha and Hischier.

Thank you and goodnight

Nolan looks like he needs some work on his skating. My guess is 30 points this year with another summer of foot work
