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

[PaulD]

Lafreniere

 

[ManofSteel55]

Zack Hyman

 

[Skeletorrr]

Since it's a contract year and he's scored 42 once I'm gonna say Verhaeghe.

 

[amikaro]

My potential first time 40+ Scorers:

• Young guys: Guenther, Jarvis, Johnston, Boldy
• Veterans: Moore, Rust, Saad, Hagel, Guentzel (he got his 40 though)

Honourable mentions: Peterka, Caufield, Batherson, Neighbours, Marchenko, Slafkovsky

Carter Verahegue?

hasn't yet had too extravagant a shooting percentage. Could hit 50 with a bit of luck

 

[The Panther]

I say someone from New Jersey, as they've never had a 50-goal or 100-point player in FIFTY YEARS of Scouts / Rockies / Devils history. Now's the time!

Fun factoids:
-- In 50 years, the Devils' franchise has had zero 50-goal scorers. In 45 years, the Oilers have had twenty.
-- In 50 years, the Devils' franchise has had zero 100-point scorers. In 45 years, the Oilers have had forty-one

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.

Hagel is a good shout too.

These are two first line quality wingers who for some reasons just didn't get permanent PP1 spots in their careers yet (which most of players with comparable talent already have). Doesn't really fit your description.
