Since its approximately a quarter of the way through the season I decided to look at the points per game stats for the predicted totals we did before the season started and what they are currently at now.
Player - Preseason predicted ppg -
Current pace - (Better, worse, or about same than than predicted)
Benn, Jamie - 0.96 - 1.15 - (Better)
Terrific start to the season for the new Stars captain. Paired with Seguin, he has put himself in consideration for team Canada.
Benn, Jordie - 0.289 - 0.250 - (Little worse)
Was only predicted to play 19 games with 0.5 Goals, 5 Assists (Averaged numbers). Currently at 20 games with 1 Goal and 4 Assists. Probably biggest surprise performance so far in his defensive play.
Chiasson, Alex - 0.547 - 0.600 - (Little better)
Hot then cold start to the season for him. No one really sure how he would continue after last year, but still able to produce.
Cole, Erik - 0.520 - .300 - (Worse)
Hasn't really been able to get any production going no matter where played in the lineup.
Connauton, Kevin - .295 - 0.00 - (Worse, I guess)
Was predicted to play 61 games with 5 Goals and 13 Assists. Currently at 1 game played and no points. Hasn't really gotten a fair shake yet.
Daley, Trevor - .316 - .200 - (Worse)
Pretty modest expectations for Daley, but so far most of the D corps has been off to rocky starts including Daley.
Dillon, Brenden - .300 - .400 - (Better)
One of the sole bright spots on the blueline for predictions. Dillon expected to bring more defence than offence, but he has proved capable of helping generate offence as well.
Eakin, Cody - 0.532 - .500 - (Little worse)
Pretty much on target for Eakin so far this year as the Stars #2 center. Will be relied upon to continue to produce.
Fiddler, Vernon - 0.250 - 0.250 - (Same)
Right on the money for Fiddler in what we expected for him. Although he is looking for a bigger role.
Goligoski, Alex - 0.571 - 0.316/B] - (Worse)
Horrible start to the year for Goligoski, he seems to be turning it around lately as far as points go.
Gonchar, Sergei - 0.561 - 0.300 - (Worse)
Same as Goligoski, the two were awful at the start of the year; however, He is still struggling.
Horcoff, Shawn - 0.467 - 0.250 - (Worse)
Another veteran who is off to a questionable start to the season.
Nichushkin, Valeri - 0.575 - 0.421 - (Worse)
Started off really slow playing with cold veteran players, but since the move to the top line with Benn and Seguin has fit in nicely and started to get some points on the table.
Peverly, Rich - 0.560 - 0.474 - (Worse)
Slightly worse for Peverley, but seeing as he is not being exclusively used in a top 6 role as most of us predicted, he isn't far off.
Robidas, Stephane - 0.262 - 0.150 - (Worse)
I've actually thought Robidas has been pretty solid this year so far, just not as far as points are concerned though.
Roussel, Antoine - 0.314 - 0.300 - (Little worse)
Actually pretty close to predicted so far. Not much expected from Roussel production wise, but its nice when he can chip in a few points.
Seguin, Tyler - 0.974 - 1.15 - (Better)
Better start than what I would have predicted moving from wing to top line center. So far unbelievable chemistry with Jamie Benn.
Whitney, Ray - 0.868 - 0.471 - (Worse)
Age may have finally caught up to the Wizard as he hasn't looked as sharp or quick when healthy.
Math may be off a little on some of them, but whatever haha. Seems like a lot of cold starts for veteran players, whereas the young guys have played pretty well or as expected.
Edit: Wrong thread, should probably move this to the predictions one. Thanks
