For the first time since we went to the stanley cup finals, we are entering the year with 6 legit top 6 forwards.
Every year, i will post the players that produced top 6(40+pts) the previous year. These are assumed to be player we expect to produce that upcoming year.
(in brackets are the previous years point totals above 40 pts)

heatley(105)
Spezza(87)
Alfredsson(87)
Fisher(48)
08-09:5
Spezz(92)
Alfredsson(89)
heatley(82)
vermette(53)
fisher(47)
09-10:4

Kovalev(65)
Michalek(57)
10-11:4
alfredsson(71)
spezza(57)
Fisher(53)
Kovalev(49)
11-12:1
Spezza(57)
12-13:3
spezza(84)
michalek(60)
alfredsson(59)
13-14:3(plus 25 points due to shorterned season)
Turris(29)
alfredsson(26)
*spezza(5) We obviously went into this season regarding him as a legitimate top 6 forward
14-15: 3
Turris(58)
macarthur(55)
ryan(48)
15-16:6
stone(64)
turris(64)
ryan(54)
hoffman(48)
zibanejad(46)
*macarthur(36) missed 20 games.
With guys like michalek(34) and a bunch of young guys like lazar,puempel,chiasson,prince,pageau who can break out at any time.
Other teams don't seem to be impressed with our forward depth but i think it's going to be the biggest reason for our success. finally we can make mock line ups and actually have good players and not just fill ins or hopefuls.
I'm so pumped about how our top 6, or even top 9 is shaping up to look like. Were going to score lots of goals spread out over our whole lineup.
I havent been this excited about our forward group since the days of alfredsson,hossa,havlat etc. that i stopped doing mock line ups. Now i like doing them again haha.
