Phil Kessel at 47 points? wow…

Too low or too high? I think that’s just about right. He’s going to miss half the season at least, and if what Elliotte Friedman said was true, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kessel misses most of the season.

I don’t know. I’ve read 12-15 games. Then he has to get into game shape but apparently it won’t be as late as previously thought.

it’s still at least mid to late november for him to game shape and into the flow of the game. might take a month or two to iron out the kinks on a new team and build some chemistry

Exactly. Lecavalier had a similar procedure done to him and he just completed career lows in his goals and point totals.

If our highest point producer puts up just 56, we’re not going anywhere. Luckily I don’t trust these predictions at all.

I think Ponikarovski could hit 70 this season.

Boo hoo!

I think he very well could, too. I mean, we’ve already discussed how at this time last year, TSN was predicting the Habs to win the Cup, so these rankings are obviously a long way from being close to sure bets. That being said, it still is a potential reality that we may have to cope with, even after giving up two 1st round picks to pick up Kessel.

I will be very surprised if we don’t have at least one player in 60 points this year.

Jason Allison scores a point per game. I guarantee it.

oh i was all kinds of kidding. no chance in a cold hell he makes a ron wilson coached team. Although I’d argue he’s a good fit on a couple of centre-starved rosters around the league.

Stempniak’s going to get 43 points? When did we get this guy and who the fuck is he?

by general borschevsky on Sep 15, 2009 7:58 AM EDT reply actions

Last year he had 44. Is it possible to think that he’ll have a bit of a resurgence and get 20 goals this year? If not, do we just bury him in the minors and give his spot to a rookie?
