I prefer to be more discreet. Fun game btw.
I think league will cut the scoring. May be Devils will increase some pp scoring, but for the first half of the season I don't wait a lot.
Hughes - 82-93 points per 82 games
Bratt - 65-72
Hischier - 70 points per 82 games
I have strong feeling that one(at least) player from our top trio will miss amount of games
Palat - 45-52
Sharangovich - 44-55
Mercer - ... 49
I believe this trio will caught some hot and cold streaks. I think third year of Mercer will be huge. But for now I see the Raw. Sharangovich should score 25-29 goals, but if he will play on the third line, he will not find enough opportunities.
Tatar - 33-39
Holtz -... really don't know. I can imagine if Ruff will give Holtz full opportunity to work with the team, Alex can find a groove but he needs time. Before he spent a year for adapting his game for the new level, and turn the corner next year. So. My poke check in the air is 4-38 points.
Haula - 39-45 points. Can't imagine he can produce more.
Wood - 25-35
Zetterlund - 15-30
Wood and Zetterlund are very hard to make a bet. What kind of role they will got?
McLeod - 15
Bastian - 16-22
Hamilton - 57-65
Severson - 40
Marino - who cares. Just play solid.
Graves - 30
Sigenthaler- who cares, just play solid.
Its mean nothing. I can easily imagine how Holtz will score 20 goals and make 30 assists, if the game will come. Hughes is a god partner to gain assists and take his apples. If Palat and Holtz will score 40 goals or more, is it enough for Hughes to achieve 97 points.
If Yegor will find his groove right from the start(I think he easily couldn't and will spend some time on form set on the start of the season) with Nico and Bratt, and Nico will spend 75+ games(I can't imagine), thus trio could light out this league easily. 80 points for Nico, 75-80 for Bratt, 35 goals from Yegor.
But I can't imagine that Holtz and Zetterlund will produce points in the same time. And Someone will hurt himself. Nico? Jack? Bratt? Goalie? Goalies? And someone will find his cold streak right from the early beginning until the deep end.
