So essentially they had a sustainable year and will score as many goals as last year? In which they ranked 17th in the league? I guess thats a solid bench mark and minimum to expect but not exactly lighting the world on fire
What? That's not even where your own post reply would logically take us...
Its not a under performance if you dont score at you career high in goals. Thats why its literally called a career high. There is like 0% chance more than 3 players (especially in top 6) will hit their career highs all in the same season
For reference- Career AVERAGES:
Monahan: 27, scored 27
Gaudreau: 26, scored 18
Brouwer: 19, scored 13
Frolik: 19, scored 17
Gio: 12, scored 12
If we used those, that's still an additional 16 goals just from forwards underperforming their averages. Additionally, Monahan and Gaudreau don't really have enough seasons under their belts to say they can't outscore their best (same with Ferland and Bennett who you left out).
