Gagner 50 points 82 games
Wiercoich 12 points 52 games
Burmistrov 16 points 49 games

If healthy
Dorsett 4 points in 14 games. Potential 20 points in 82 games
Guds 6 points 30 games potential for 15 points in 82 games.

On paper statistically the team has improved.

Agree and I forgot about Burmistrov. His PPG pace last season would have been impressive for an 82 game season potentially.

I don't think Tanev gets traded unless its a block buster. MDZ could get traded at TDL or Gudbrandson but the RH side would be very weak unless they sign a guy like Franson to replace Tanev

White Rock won its second game at the Little League tournament beating Venezuela 7-3. They slammed Italy the other day too. We never win there so it is nice to see the kids do well
- VANTEL

Has a salary of 5 and a modified NTC now.

Well...I don't like to be a showoff!

After winning the pre-season the Canucks will be out of the playoff picture by late November. They will flirt with a wildcard berth in mid January and then the wheels will fall off.

Gudbransen is going to put up a career season. Book it.
- thundachunk

I hope so. Would be nice to see another position locked and loaded

All fair points of course I'm just trying to draw on some of the positives that could take place.

Gagner adding 40-50 points.

Healthy Gudbranson and if MDZ is healthy he can be a 30 pt dman.

More points for Stecher and possibly a better season for Edler.

Bo pushing 60 pts which I think is possible.

Granlund and baertchi moving up the points ladder as well.

A full 40 pt season for Sutter.

And a couple of surprises…Boeser maybe Goldy and a few other prospects that might make it in due to injuries. Boeser has shown he may be a 30-40 pt guy his first year.

Having said injuries that of course is the kicker which we are usually decimated by Feb but this year could change that.

Markstrom and Nilsson I hope will push each other to be better.

And I know this is not the popular opinion but I am so glad Miller is gone. Marky's numbers were identical with around 25 games played and with a lower GAA. Miller did play well at times but we will not miss his 2-3 muffins per game.

Agree missing Hansen will hurt and his diversity up and down the lines and even Burrows to some extent…but we had to move on from those guys.

For MDZ to reach 30 points he would probably need PP time. Means less PP time for Stecher and Hutton. Hutton had 11, Stecher 8.

- VANTEL

Which would be fine. Franson put up 30+ points for almost 3 seasons on god-awful Leafs teams and still managed 20 points in less than 70 games on a god-awful Buffalo team last season. Tanev will get us 40-50 games and maybe 15 points.

As long as they finish last and then win the lotto, I'm all good

MDZ was brought in the play the PP, to provide offence, he's a lot more proven in that regard than Stecher or Hutton.

Hutton was arguably a liability on the PP last season.

Playoffs..You heard it here first.

Salary not AAV.
- manvanfan

Oilers are not a poor team they don't care about salary , they care about cap hit.

EDM needs to dump salary, Tanev's 3M saves them 3M in cap space.

Trade Sutter back to Pitts if the RNH goes through, like Vantel suggested. Sorted.
- VanHockeyGuy

Not this year they don't. Next year they will for sure.

yep

Gudbransen is going to put up a career season. Book it.
- thundachunk

Then we should get a 1st at the deadline. Because if he has a career year, he will demand too much money as an UFA in the summer.

- LordHumungous

In Arizona. Was 14 points in 26 games. 5 PP points. 15 minutes per game.
In WPG. 2 points 23 games. 0 PP points. 11 minutes per game.

LWL has him playing with Domi and Duclair in Arizona.

I just don't know which one will show up. Depends on how Green would use him.

He will be extended in January.

sounds like the last 2 years

He will be extended in January.
- thundachunk

Curious, if he is having a career year why wouldn't he wait till summer to max out his salary?

Yes, just saying for every addition in that sense. Your going to see a subtraction elsewhere.
