Lmao pump the breaks. Bura probably won't hit 40 points, let alone 55, and Nichushkin probably won't even hit 44 games played.

Buddy has his whole team having career years.

So for the record, you're predicting the top 10 scorers on the 2019-20 Avalanche will score 38 more points than the top 10 scorers on the 2018-19 Lightning, a team that won 62 games, the most ever in a single season.

Kads is a stretch with 75 maybe 60 to 50

You made an account to post this???

lmao Makar getting 70 is unheard of for a rookie defenceman! I would say at best 50 points, and that would be considered an unbelievable rookie season

Yeah Phaneuf at 49 is the highest of any rookie dman in the cap era...so

very interesting actually. I didn't know that! thank you for solidifying my point

Burakovsky going to magically double his point totals from the last two seasons?
There have only been two rookie defenseman in league history to get 70+ points but some how Makar will definetly do it lol
Kadri gonna increase his career high by 15 pts
Mackinnon, Rantenen, and Ladeskog all having career years

lol wut?

Lol the whole team is going to have career bests?

So hard to get points as a rookie dman. That said, I see Makar as good as Dahlin was last year, so replicating those 44 points makes sense.

I disagree. Makar is an elite defensive prospect, at the level of Hesikanen, Chabot, etc. Dahlin coming in was a generational defensive prospect.

Sure, I guess I meant point wise, not talking about their defensive non-point related game.

I could see that for sure!

Makar is the next Bobby Orr apparently.

Ummmm.....I wish!

I feel like you are the guys that said St. Louis would never win a cup this year. Colo is going to be one of the best teams in the league this year

Best as in 65+ wins? Based on these point totals that's what they would have.

I completely agree that Colorado is going to be a top team in the league next year! I never said otherwise, but you can't seriously expect everyone to put up the highest totals of their careers. And I love Makar, but no rookie dman has put up over 50 points in the last 25 years man.... And you have him scoring 70!

St.Louis were actually my dark horse pick, and most of those point totals are still ridiculous regardless of that. MacK and Rants maybe and that may pull Landy up to near the 80-90 points mark. JT and Jost are really the only others that seem realistic to me. If Jost breaks out it could be more and it all depends what line they're on. The rest look pretty unrealistic to me, but I'll be happy if they prove me wrong!

The trade is also bad, and Rantanen really shouldn't be getting that kind of money.
