I voted for Roy's 60+ Season

I could also see Caufield 40 plus goals and us having a top 3 pick

I have Suzuki flirting with 100 points the moment we have a competitive roster, which isn't this year.
Slaf flirting with PPG in the same time line.

Roy is the most likely one.

Caufield’s shooting percentage improves from last season and he scores 40.

Another bold prediction; Armia, in a contract year, scores 25 goals.

I think only the Caufield and Primeau predictions stand a chance here.

In the jar'o
CC is going to score at least 30 this year. If he's healthy, I don't think 40 is out of the realm of possibility. Same with Slaf he'll be a PPG player one day, if he doesn't get off to the slow start he did last year I could see him getting close to a PPG.

Oldcraig will sleep most of the time except when he wake-up to post here, lol.
I wish I could sleep more. No but seriously I had an hard time make a choice. It's Alice in Wonderland one choice after another.

And Hutson? And Slaf?

I honestly think Primeau taking the starter job by mid-season is most likely. He's got talent and goalies vary so much year-to-year
You think Monty is not strong enough? You underestimate Monty?

Caufield scoring 40 should be the answer ainec

He's not going to continue shooting at 8.9% and playing a full season with Suzuki and Slaf is going to make a big difference.

Joshua Roy for me. The rest seems even more unlikely. And 50 pts would be a godsend for the Habs, like 15% chance of happening. He may never even reach 50pts in a season, and you're asking for 50pts in his rookie season??

Roy 50pts: 15%
Slafkovsky PPG: 14%
Hutson Calder: 13%
Caufield 40 goals: 12%
Primeau Starter: 11%
Dach 1C: 10%
Habs Playoffs: 9%
Suzuki 100pts: 7%
Habs Top-3 Pick: 5%
Anderson 30 goals: 3%

So? Your point is?

I think the Panthers drop to #11

Montreal
None of my choices are here so here’s my pick.

-Barron will get over 40 points and will establish himself as a top D.

This is coming from the poster who did the impossible by predicting last season that Monahan would not only play 20 games but will get over 50 points.

Also lol at the Dumb Donkey getting over 30 goals. He can’t even get 30 points and you guys still pumping his tires about getting 30 goals? I’ve never seen a player piggy back from one fluke season as much as him and that was like 6 years ago.

Nah I like Monty plenty, but there's a lot of year-to-year variability with starting goalies and he isn't established in the upper echelon to the point where Montreal wouldn't give Primeau the reins if he was outperforming him.

I have put together 10 bold predictions for next season.
Which one do you think has the most chances to become reality ?

Feel free to add your own bold prediction for next season
Most likely of those is Cole hitting 40+ imo... Healthy, I think he does it.


Least likely is Anderson hitting 30. That's the only one I see zero chance of happening.
