I'm thinking something like 20g, 25a on an 82 game pace.

I think he'll end up around 30. I voted 31-40, being optimistic. Coyle put up 30, though it wasn't his rookie year technically. I'll put it this way: the best rookie season in Wild history was Gaborik at 36 points. I don't expect JEE to do better.

I think the 35-45pt range is reasonable. Depending on ice time, injuries, pp time, etc I could see over 50 if everything goes right.

I'm gonna go with almost 50 points. One of Koivu or Staal gets injured and EK steps up.

I would guess around 30. He's young and he'll be a very good player, but I would be surprised to see upper-30s or higher in year one.

31-40, but wouldn't be surprised if he got into the low 40s as well.

I'm guessing his point total will be in the low 30s, and then he'll take a noticeable step the next season.

I think his progression will be pretty similar to Koivu's. Never going to wow you, but will always be very solid and will keep getting better and better each year.

Under 20p (as 3C), but I don't think he'll play 82 games in Minny and will end up in Iowa at some point. 30p as a 3W.

Haula had 25p last season and he had Nino/Parise and Pommer as his wings for most of the season as the 3C. JEE is a downgrade at 3C from Haula (for at least a season), and Ennis/Foligino are downgrades from Pommer.

Foligno/JEE/Coyle in some shape or form is how I see the 3rd line starting off the season: a physical, hard forechecking, zone control 3rd line.
