Will Kaprizov outscore Kaprizov?

[Kshahdoo]

Kirill scored 108 points last season, but he started that season slow. This season he's already 4+4 after 4 games. So will he score more than 108 points this season? Or less?

The answer is 12

No. I suspect a lot of players had career years last year cause scoring was very high league wide.

He will score over 110 pts and win the Hart.

I think he will. Boldy/Addison on the Wild's PP1 has made that group exponentially more dangerous (the Wild PP was bad last season) and the team isn't as good so they are playing Kaprizov 3-4 minutes per game more than last season.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him hit 120 points. I think that there's no other player in the NHL that has more of an impact game over the game than him.

Wild are playing some firewagon hockey. There could be another year of career numbers coming if they keep at this pace. Another month of this and they'll be the Wil_. (no d)

True, but I don't see any reason or indication based on style of play as to why that would change back this season.

I think he'll score at just over 108pt pace but I'll take the under because no player is a sure thing to play 82 games; sometimes injuries happen.

Agreed. While it’s always too early to draw any concrete conclusions, we’re yet again trending along at another season that’s the “highest level of scoring” since 1993-1994. It’s actually a little higher than that season right now, a mere 5% into this season.

Considering Kaprizov scored 44 goals and 97 points in his final 67 games of last season, I like his chances at 50 goals and 110 points if he plays 80 games. Probably higher, but those numbers feel safe to me.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

113 if all 82 games

51 goals
62 assists

Read that as "Will Kravtsov outscore Kaprizov?" at first
yes to both

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

The question’s wording is so confusing for no reason lol

They aren't really even playing fire wagon hockey. For example, in the rangers game the expected goals was about 4.5 for the Wild and 3 for the Rangers. They might have the worst goalie situation in modern memory unless things turn around. But if you mean they are going to have to score a lot and open up their structure to try to score which compounds things in both directions then yes.

But, even outside of that Kaprizov is the type of guy who can easily reach those numbers from last year with the factor that he is on the ice. Kaprizov plays with a guy who before last year had never scored more than mid-60s in points and a guy who before last year had never scored more than 30 points and was a bottom player.

Imagine, Kaprizov was playing with another true first line talent.

120 points.

Yeah if he stays healthy agree that 120 is absolutely possible. Kaprizov is that good.
