Josh Bailey puts up 50 points this year.

Boychuck regresses to the point where he's on Girardi level bad and has to have sheltered minutes.

PAP ends the season a the second highest point total behind Tavares

Nelson has an Okposo-type revelation that it is ok to use your size and play with some intestinal fortitude...goes for 30 goals, but has a grabner type assist total. 42 points

Strome remembers how to play hockey and just misses out on 20 goals but has a healthy amount of helpers and reaches 50pts.

Nobody on the Ladd-JT-PAP line has less than 65 points.

Josh Bailey wins over the entire Isles fan base with his inspired and gritty play.

I just don't know. The team surprised me last year. They never seemed to play well, but they won a lot of games. Strome may push Tavares in goals. Leddy wins the Norris.

Team trades Strome, Dal Colle, and de Hann for Kucherov
Barzal earns 2nd line center from the go and tops 50 points playing
between Lee and Nichushkin.
During camp we trade Greiss and a 1st to get Nichushkin and a cap dump.
Nelson centers 3rd line between Chimera and PAP
Kul-CC-Clutter 4th line
Bailey traded for a 4th.
Prince extra forward.
Grabo to LTIR for cap space.

Boychuk scores fifteen goals and is a beast and no one admits bashing him save for (poster) Trottier, who comes back to post four times and then disappear to his Arctic hiding place.

Barzal and Pulock both get nominated for the Calder, but lose to Patrik Laine.

Is he even still around? Arguably the biggest ******* to ever come on this board, and that's saying a lot.

-Cappy wins coach of the year

-Hickey becomes our best defenseman

-Cappy benches Barzal for "rookie" mistakes, Bailey plays every night.

People keep chirping about Boychuk regressing. I remember twice, mid season and toward the end, he got blasted in the foot/ankle with heavy shots, and kept playing through it.

I bet that hampered him in the last few months and hope that it's healed. Guy is a warrior (sorry Steinbrenner for theft) and I predict he will have a strong season - if he can avoid more injuries.

Leddy's point total will keep rising. With Frans gone, he'll get more time as the PP QB. He could get 45-50. Hope he and Pulock are on the 1st unit.
