84-90 points.

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

Finally free from the twin black holes of gimmick coaches and Marcus f'ing Johansson

55-55-110

And 90 PIMs for good measure.

 

[Devil Dancer]

40-45-85

 

[txpd]

50 40

I'm thinking 48-40-88

The PP will have to be more diverse and he will have to play a more responsible game under Trotz so that may cut into his goals, but he should do better ES and assists will go up. A better RW, more skill on the PP, a healthy Green(????), an awake Backstrom and improved possession may mean more assists, too.

I was thinking those exact stats pretty much.

 

[txpd]

I cant imagine ov getting that close to 50 and not getting there.

 

[CapsJunkie]

new coach, Kuznetsov on his line, healthy Green...all time high 115 pts

 

[KevinM]

52-26-78

 

[Acallabeth]

Pretty confident in 50 goals, 94 points.

 

[fedfed]

50+30. 70 on PP just to troll everyone.

 

[Hivemind]

~40g, ~40a, ~80p

 

[Midnight Judges]

53 42 95

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

45-50g, 35-40a, 80-90p

 

[Holtbyisms]

101 points, and a +1 for good measure. lol

 

[Burakovsky95*]

You all are much more optimistic than me. I haven't seen anything that shows he's ready to be back in the 85-95 point range.

 

[Acallabeth]

You all are much more optimistic than me. I haven't seen anything that shows he's ready to be back in the 85-95 point range.

Ovechkin was on a 83 point pace last year, and while he enjoyed a great GPG streak, he also had to endure Oates coaching and Beagle centering.
So it's not some big jump, especially as our top 6 will have new talent, breakout will hopefully improve, and we already see the effects of new defenders.

My estimate was very conservative but rethinking it I wouldn't be too surprised to see the goals drop by a few and the assists really increase since Backstrom and Johansson had such a brutal shooting percentage at 5 on 5 last season.

 

[foundhockey]

I think he'll hit 50 goals again, and his assists will jump hugely. The low shooting percentage of his teammates can't possibly be as low this year as it was last. *fingers crossed* If Fehr truly does become his other linemate, I can see them both getting plenty of points.

So, 50 goals, 48 assists.

He was also on a 95 point pace in 2013.

Captain OV making points off the ice too. Nice to see him taking his fans to the owner's lounge.
