2019-2020 Bold Predictions

[phillydownsouth]

I always guess points totals for the forwards every year, and they represent if the player were to play a full 82 game season.

Player	Goals	Assists	TOTAL	ES Total
Giroux	22	56	78	50
Couts	30	45	75	60
Jake	20	47	67	41
TK	30	28	58	46
JvR	24	22	46	33
Hayes	22	37	59	44
Lindblom	18	21	39	35
Laughton	10	15	25	23
Pitlick	10	10	20	18
Raffl	8	10	18	18
Farabee*	17	17	34	29
Frost*	14	21	35	27
Bunnaman*	8	10	18	18
Twarynski*	6	10	16	16

*I have no idea how the rookies will shake out. I don't know if we'll see Frost in the second week of the season, or the second half of the season. Again, these totals represent what I think they could get in a full season this year.

jeeeez undervaluing our top point leaders. Giroux below 80 pts?! IF it played out this way we would be a last place team with that little of points lol.

 

[BigToe]

We trade one of our top 10 voted prospects around the deadline.

 

[Jtown]

Voracek doesn't call out a hfflyers member on twitter

too bold imo

 

[landsbergfan]

Jim Jackson creams himself on live television as he announces Chris Stewart's first Gordie Howe hatrick of the season

Blues had 244 GF.

Flyers had 241 GF last year. The total from my projections is 239GF, and that's for forwards only. There are no points from defenseman here. You can probably add 25-35ish from the defense.

They need to do a better job preventing goals; they had 280 GA.

Still think you're undervaluing our top point leaders. I could see Giroux cracking 90 with ease

Maybe he does.

1 The Flyers finish in the top 8 for GA, but their GF drop.
2 The team is not in a Playoff spot at Thanksgiving, but still finish 2nd in the division.
3 Voracek and JVR struggle to adapt to the new system and both have less than =<20 points at the halfway mark, and additionally both score 50+ by seasons end.
4 Konecny leads the team in goals.
5 Out of all the rookies Twarinski plays the most games and has the most points.

League predictions

1 Winnepeg and St Loius both miss the playoffs completely.
2 The Coyotes and Oilers both take their places.
3 Ottawa is top 5 in the league by Thanksgiving, but misses the playoffs.
4 Carolina and Islanders both miss the playoffs, but are both close.
5 Tampa doesnt finish 1st in the East

And my super wild prediction
Dallas loses to Columbus in the SCF.

Now thats what i call BOLD

 

[BlackandOrange]

Alain Vigneault gets in a fight with John Torterella.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Sure, I'll play.

1) The Canucks make the playoffs in a divisional spot at San Jose's expense.
2) Neither Hughes brother wins the Calder.
3) Jordan Binnington is Jim Carey.
4) The Flyers challenge for the Metro Division title only to finish 3rd.
5) Joel Quenneville wins the Adams for getting Florida back to the playoffs.


I fully expect all five to be wrong.

Was thinking about this thread, so I looked back through the archive to find it. I only remembered 3 of my predictions (forgot about the Canucks prediction and the Binnington prediction), so that's what I really came back to see.

Feel like I was in the ballpark for three but misssed on two: Binnington (wildly off) and Quenneville (Bobrovsky really screwed this one up).

I saw Makar and Quinn Hughes about 15 times each this year. Would probably lean Hughes for the Calder, but wouldn't be surprised if Makar got it instead.

I actually think AV probably takes the Adams. Would be a bit hilarious if AV and Berube were two of the three finalists.

 

[Striiker]

I get less than 5 infractions all season.

That is BOLD!

I would "like" this comment....but can't until Oct 7th.

ZERO this season.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Flyers win the division (48-22-12) and get swept in the Conference Finals.

Would've had to finish 7-1-5 to reach my standings prediction. Eh, close enough. Still got a shot at that big 0-4 in the Conference Finals though.

 

[Striiker]

Hagg keeps his iron man streak alive.

Provorov spends more time on PP1 than off the PP entirely.

Also, I blame you for this.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Also, I blame you for this.

Please don't bump my posts unless they reflect Fletcher's greatness. Thank you.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

1. Alain rides in on the first horse of the apocalypse.
2. Therrien rides in on the second horse of the apocalypse.
3. Yeoobastank rides in on the third horse of the apocalypse.
4. Lappy rides in on the fourth horse of the apocalypse.
5. Chuck rides in on a mule and says "Why the long faces?"

Nailed it.

Wasn't too far off:

Negative number - player was under projection. Positive number - player over projections

Player	Goals	Assists	TOTAL	ES Total
Couts	-4	-1	-5	-5
Giroux	3	-18	-15	-13
