What to Expect from Martin St. Louis Next Season?

[JaeTM]

While we may not know what line MSL will be playing on and who is teammates will be, it's pretty safe to say that he's still shown that he's an elite player in this league even after just recently turning 39 years of age.

Before we acquired MSL from Tampa he had 61 points in 62 games played; almost a point per game basis playing with the likes of 2nd and 3rd line players with Stamkos injured. He came to New York and produced 8 points through 19 games, although every Ranger fan knows he was better than that; especially in the playoffs where he came up big multiple times.

What can we expect from Marty next year, at least point wise? I think barring injury 50 points is safe bet although I'd be extremely disappointed in that considering how much we gave up (even though last seasons playoffs almost made it worth it).

So, the question is out. After about a quarter of the regular season, the Stanley Cup playoffs, a full training camp and knowing AV's system, what do you expect Martin St. Louis to produce next season?

Players who were very good at 38 tend to be very good at 39 and 40 too:

[Inferno]

60-80 points....hard to say...it really depends on who is center is.

 

[Machinehead]

50-59.

Offense doesn't work here.

 

[Inferno]

im going with 75 points. i think he plays with Nash to form a monster top line.

 

[Zil]

I hope we get 70 or more points out of him, but I'm expecting 50-60 because that's how this **** works when we add older star players.

 

[Kreider Luvs Goalies]

Half of whatever he would've averaged on any other team just because its the rangers.

So around 50 pts.

This seems like sound mathematical practice all around.

This seems like sound mathematical practice all around.

It's a sss, but he did only produce at a 49 point pace in the playoffs for us and that was a marked improvement over his regular season performance down the stretch. He put up 69 total points last season, so according to your tables we can expect about 62 this year.

 

[darko]

Around 70 points assuming he plays 82 games.

 

[Placid]

Well, he has been a PPG player for quite a long time. I do expect that to slow down somewhat here (depends on who he ends up with as linemates of course)... but if he can deliver north of 60 points over a season, i'd be very happy.

 

[DanielBrassard]

If he plays with Step and Kreider, 70.

 

[stan the caddy]

Based on the way he played for us last year and the question marks at center, 50-59 is what's realistic. He might have played well in Tampa prior to the trade but he just doesn't look like a ppg player in a Rangers uniform.

 

[Baby Punisher]

I fully expect MSL to break the Great one's single season goal scoring record.

 

[Radek27]

My guess is 30-25-55

 

[Net Front Presence]

I expect somewhere around 65-70 points over the course of 82 games.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

He had a slow start here but he's been virtually a point per game or more player the past 10 years. I don't think next year is an exception.

 

[mike14]

assuming a full season, 65-70

 

[NewLife]

66 points

 

[Ice Hockey]

60-69 points. i'm hoping for some more goals at the expense of some of his assists. be selfish fire that puck.

 

[silverfish]

im going with 75 points. i think he plays with Nash to form a monster top line.

I see him playing with Kreider - Stepan. MSL feeding Kreider with a head of steam heading up the ice will be fun to watch. If that's the line, I think 20-40 from MSL, maybe 30-30 if we're lucky.

If he's on a line with Miller and Hagelin, let's say... yikes. 20-30. Maybe 15-35.

Our depth took such a big hit this off-season Our centers are going to be the death of us.

 

[FJB]

I think 50-59 unless he gets a good center.

 

[Fletch]

thinking this is the year he breaks out.

 

[z1co80]

50-59

 

[Trainmman]

74 points.
