Wow. Last year, the highest number of goals scored by a team for the season was Tampa at 259. RobRossi's 279 would be optimistic for sure; the 341 suggested by bennett? Not gonna happen, I think it's safe to say.

 

[penzweiser]

How many goals do you think the penguins will score next year? Will they lead the league? Who will the top 4 goal scorers be next year?

I'll go with 287 - average of 3.5 per game
Yes
Malkin
Crosby
Kessel
Kunitz

 

[harmonica]

Team Total: 275

Top 4:

Kessel
Crosby
Malkin
Hornqvist

 

[Jacob]

I think the forwards alone will probably hit 250. Plus 10 from Letang and let's say 15 from the rest of the blueliners combined, I think it'll be around 275. Provided the big names stay reasonably healthy.

SITH EDIT:

The Waffle is correct: You can post either the team total or individual totals or both, but we don't need two threads.

MERGING

 

[Kristopher Letang]

If Malkin start shooting again, 280 easily.

 

[Mike Lange Version 2]

Optimistically: 280+

What I expect: ~255-260

If we get decimated by injuries and things go horribly: 230

There is no way we are worse on offense than last season.

 

[penzweiser]

Can Harrison, Walker, or mercer play first? We'd have a really dynamic lineup of that happens and polonco continues to improveimprove.

Matters if MJ gets out of the way or not.

Matters if MJ gets out of the way or not.

Matters if the NHL gets in the way, as well.

Well we already know they will.

 

[cygnus47]

Also matters if either Maatta or Letang go down and Pouliot doesn't grab the top 4 role by the horns. Less consistent offense without puck movement from our D. We could get into a big time "unexplained slump" again this season if/when Maatta/Letang go down.

 

[mpp9]

I'm too lazy to add up a team's goal totals.

But I do think we have a very good chance of having two 40 goal guys again. And 4 with more than 30.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

250 goals or thereabouts seems realistic.

Malkin will invariably spend a decent amount of time on the IR or banged up and the league is in the gutter, right now. Nobody even cracked 90 total points, last season. Only 5 cracked even just 80. There were no 60+ goal scorers, one 50+ goal scorer, and only THREE total 40+ goal scorers.

 

[Sutter16]

Team total between 247-252, with Kessel leading the way with 43.

 

[BobCole]

Depends on whether the NHL decides to start calling penalties again. If they don't, I would expect a number around 230. If they do, 250-260 seems reasonable.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Sid's line will have 87 goals.

Perron (24) - Crosby (35) - Hornqvist (28)

 

[BobCole]

Sid's line will have 87 goals.

Perron (24) - Crosby (35) - Hornqvist (28)

I'd hope for higher production from these three if they play the full season together.

 

[The Greatest 101]

MJ will still find ways to kill the offense.

What are you talking about? Mike Johnston's teams have been known for high-flying offense for the better part of a decade.

Wrong thread. Reporting this post.
