Who is going to be this year's Chris Kreider / Zach Hyman? (50+ goals)

[Fantomas]

Nobody

 

[Henkka]

Jake Guentzel is the right answer.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

PLD

Which absolutely pisses off Caps fans

 

[Spargon]

Brady Tkachuk, Cole Caufield, William Nylander and Jack Hughes going off of the shot volumes they had last season.

JT Miller, Brock Boeser, Seth Jarvis, Lucas Raymond and Nick Suzuki going off their shooting percentage from last season.

My money would be on Hughes or Nylander but I don't think they fall in the unexpected category

Therefore its gonna be Brady for me

Nylander has posted back to back 40 goal seasons, it is really unexpected he could get 10 more? Don't think he really fits here.

 

[hurdemz]

Probably kreider and hyman

 

[BKarchitect]

Owen Tippett was 11th in shots on goal per game last season, somebody has to score for the Flyers and if he clicks with Michkov who already looks like a playmaking star, who knows?

Trying to go a bit more out a limb here. Which means he will probably start slow and the Torts will stick him on the 4th line with Cates and Poehling…sorry Flyers fans lol!

Tolvanen

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

Jake DeBrusk

 

[miscs75]

Maxim Tsyplakov

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Joel Eriksson Ek

People are picking star players with already one, if not multiple, 40 goal seasons having an uptick in production (Robertson, Nylander, Guentzel) or young players with loads of potential getting there faster than expected (Johnston).

Don't think that is in the spirit of the thread.

I will pick guys based on a similar profile to Hyman & Kreider. Late 20'/early 30's, good 2nd line players, few seasons in the 25-28 goal range, don't expect much else, then bang, monster season 50+ goals due to good linemate + luck.

I will say Ehlers.

25 goals last season with zero on the PP. Jets in general were bad on the PP but with Scheifele, Ehlers, Connor, Perfetti, and Morrissey, It would depend on the PP going off this season and Ehlers being PP1 and adding 20+ goals on the PP to his 5v5 production.

 

[TheDoldrums]

I think Owen Tippett is probably the best answer I’ve seen that fits the spirit of the question.

 

[joestevens29]

My pick is Wyatt Johnston.

I’m thinking this as well

 

[gary69]

Alex Tuch.

 

[Neutrinos]

Every time I watched a Stars highlight package during last year's playoffs, Johnston was by far the most dangerous player on the ice... he just seems to have an elite sense of where the puck will be, and he has the shot to finish those chances

10 goals in 19 playoff games could very well be an indication of a 50+ goal season on the horizon


...or Jeff Skinner

But is Ehlers going to be PP1? Last season, with essentialy the same team, that spot went to Vilardi, with Ehlers overlooked yet again.
Unfortunately (as Im a bit of a fan of the Jets), Im thinking he wont truly break out until he finds his way out of Winnipeg where they refuse to put him on that first unit.

Nichuskin would be my response to the original query if he hadnt sabotaged himself. Hard to foresee many unsung goal scorers breaking out to that extent.
Maybe circumstances in Tampa may be just right for Hagel to explode and I wouldnt be shocked to see Byfield pot 40+.

 

[Lt Dan]

Trevor Lewis is going to score 214 goals

 

[Parliament]

Anthony Duclair (lol). If he keeps playing with Barzal/Horvat and on PP1,... the stars are aligning

 

[End of Line]

Drew O’Connor

Yeah of course depends on him getting that top unit spot and given how bad the PP was for the Jets last season, I don't see why they wouldn't try a different look.

I was also going to pick Nichuskin btw lol but I think he's out until Dec 1 at the earliest.

Hagel is a good shout too.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Auston Matthews

 

[PuckG]

I hope Zach Hyman ends up being last years Zach Hyman.

 

[ijuka]

wyatt johnston is my pick

 

[Rydgar]

Jake Debrusk

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I will suprise and say Peterka.
