Bergeron was on a 100 point pace.
him and Pastrnak both.
Bergeron would've had a 40 G 100 PT season
Pastrnak would've had a 50 G 100 PT season and threatened for the Rocket
Bergeron was on a 100 point pace.
I'm sorry what? Wouldn't it be more likely that the guy that has averaged .44 assists per game over 212 games would have less assists per game as he's already kinda proven that so far he's not a great play maker? Why would you assume that he would increase his assist rate by OVER 200% just because he played 14 more games? Seems far more likely that he'd drop in rate as opposed to increase.
After all.. haven't we had to hear throughout his career that he's a much goals per game or goals per 60 player than those who outscore him? So why apply the opposite assumptions to his playmaking abilities?
Pastrnak, Arvidsson, Bergeron, Matthews
Matthews could probably go 50-50-100 if he could ever play a full season.
He played at a 45 goal, 44 assist pace this year despite not being 100% healthy. Doesn’t seem unreasonable he could hit 50 and 50 in a healthy year.I'm sorry what?

You are relying on his low assist total from his rookie season to make your point. He is a natural goal scorer and it is clear he is learning to become a better playmaker as he develops his game at the NHL level which is why his assists have been increasing each year.
Year 1: 29 assists, 0.35 APG
Year 2: 29 assists, 0.47 APG
Year 3: 36 assists, 0.53 APG
You mean the guy who went 37g 36a this season? No he could never have a 50/50 split, you're right.I'm sorry what?

Pretty sure his production spikes whenever he comes back from injury and slowly dips from there. Could be normal ups and downs of season but he doesnt seem need time to get into groove after a injury so far.
Ryan Poehling could have had 246 goals on 100% shooting.

This. He was on a tear before getting injured. The same pattern every season, starts off slow and then picks it up big time. You can count on him going ppg in a year where scoring is up. Knowing he is a big point producer in a normal year, going over ppg this year is within reason.Erik Karlsson didn’t have a great start to the season, but he was rounding into form and looking like an absolute monster before he got hurt. He had 30 points and a +17 in his last 26 games.
