Went with the 31-35 mark. I think he'll break 30, but it's hard to break into that 35-40+ realm. Not a lot of players can do that in this league.

I think he hits at least 30, but the way that line looks and the way I'm usually optimistic about this team, I'll actually say he hits 36.

31-35 seems like a winner to me. 31 is his career high and he looks great. Could maybe see him getting to 36-40, but as much as love Saad's game he's not a great finisher.

25-30 seems the most likely, and that's a really good season. All of the choices available have him having a real good season, so I hope that proves to be accurate.

I went with 36-40. He looks like a greatly improved player, and considering how good he was when he left, that's really impressive. I've liked the efforts from Toews and especially Panik. My on the nose guess is 38, but that's contingent on the Hawks PP improving a lot.

You don't know how bad I wanna click that 46-50, lol. Patience, CS.

So your the type of ******* who'd bid a single dollar more than another contestant on "The Prize is Right". Good to know CS, good to know...

Haha, I'd be the worst ever at that show. I totally would do that out of sheer ignorance.

Here's hoping to him staying healthy this year....but why the Hell not 40+ goals? You all see what he is doing, right? Getting to the fricken net. Also, he's never played with Panik before who is killing expectations.

42 for the ManMan (cause he's older now)

Yup. I had extremely high expectations for Saad coming in but as you said, the play of Panik and instant chemistry with Panik wasn't anticipated. Sky really is the limit.

i voted for the 36-40. actually i am gambling on that range. the safe bet would have been 31-35 but i like the excitement that first line is not generating. like the last 2 yrs, the excitement surrounding Kane's line, i can see that with Toews.

i was also looking at the hype that 2nd line was generating, too bad Schm got hurt. however AA last yr had success with Kane. so maybe that line can do as well if not better than Toews.

3rd line took a hit, but the season is still in its infancy. so who knows.

He is not an elite goal scorer like Ovi, so his goal total depends on his line playing well more than individual plays. I voted 36-40 but that is based on how well 20-19-14 is playing right now. If that line stays together and continues to dominate like they have through the first 4 games - I think close to 40 is a reasonable number.

I love the optimism and I'm so glad he's back. But looking at his career numbers 40 is a really big jump. Hope I'm wrong, but I think people are little too caught up in the moment.

3 guys scored 40 last year, that's it.

It's why I was so hesitant to go over 31-35. That 40 goal mark is SO hard to accomplish over a full season. Guys go cold. Chances become harder to come by. Players have slumps. Hell, Kane has put up 40 once in his career, so I find it hard to believe Saad will. Don't get me wrong, I hope he does. I really do. I just don't think it's a realistic expectation, even with that line dominating every line they've come up against so far.

Moving into his prime as a power forward and scorer. If the line stays healthy, 36-40, maybe 42.

i agree but i was looking at the age factor when he played with the Bhawks the first time. now older and with Toews i can see them booming.
