Alex Galchenyuk

[NobleSix]

Around 60 points i'm hoping. Therrien's usage will be the huge deciding factor though, which makes me feel uneasy.

 

[WeThreeKings]

60 seems lofty.. considering that would have put him as one of the top point getters on the team.

I'd be happy if he broke 40-50 points this year.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

If he keeps working hard like he did in his few playoffs games, I think he will get around 55 points.

Anything more than 45-50 would be pretty good in my books.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

He'll not get the PP time that the midget will, so his numbers will suffer a bit there.

I say he'll probably score 40 pts, and suffer another fluke injury that will annoy me more than anything.

 

[Tyrus]

As long as he progresses via opportunities I'll be happy.

**** the midget

 

[HabsRockBruinsChoke]

Me - Galchenyuk - Gallagher
Pacioretty - DD - Parenteau
Bourque - Plekanec - Sekac
Prust - Eller - Weise

 

[Dagistitsyn]

My guess is something around 40 points, and everyone starts to panic because he's not putting up 65+
Hopefully he can improve his shot. Accuracy and release.

Eller on 4th line? Ok

HabsRockBruinsChoke for Art Ross Trophy confirmed.

+1


Missed it at first

 

[ProspectsSTC]

My line wishlist:
Without a traded DD, most likely

Patch-DD-PA
Galchenyuk-Plekanec-Gallagher
Sekac-Eller-Bourque
Prust-Bourny-Dale

With a traded DD
Patch-Galchenyuk-Gallagher
Bourque-Eller-PA
Sekac-Plekanec-Bourny
Moen-Mal-Weise

 

[Sined]

I'd like to see a 90 point season! Yeah, optimism!

 

[Scintillating10]

What are your expectations for Alex Galchenyuk this season?

Point production and what line do you expect him playing on come March.

If he can stay healthy i think he will explode..PPG

 

[Kojo]

My expectation is probably unrealistic, so I'll just say that I expect him to become one of our key players this coming season. He steadily improved and he seems to know what he needs to do to take his game to the next level.

As for which position, mainly used on the LW, but with increased ice-time.

 

[Jabba11]

I would be with 65 points.

25 goals - 40 assists

Kid needs to play with Pacioretty.

 

[Price is Wright]

- second line
- left wing
- PP2

I'll go with 50-55 points.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Him getting legitimate top 6 forward minutes in all situations (and looking like he belongs) is my ultimate hope this year. I'd be very happy with anything over 50-55 points and at least some games at the center position. Enough babying the guy around Therrien, let him put on his grownup pants already !

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

I'd be surprised if he broke past 40points.

He just hasn't impressed me so far in his career - great hands but he barely uses them, good solid frame which he doesn't apply, sporadic moments of vision...

I mean I know he's young but the benchmark should be RNH and Landeskog not Turris.

Galchenyuk's trajectory is more Plekanec than any sort of definitive star #1.

40 pts is under .5 pt per game and he's playing at around that rate since his nhl debut and from the looks of it, he should get top 6 duty in the upcoming season, why would you think his production would drop with a bigger offensive role?

2013-2014: .80 (16:03 ES TOI/G, 18:40 TOI/G)

Hopefully that gives a little context to the number variations between the three players. If there's a statistic for points per time on ice, maybe that'd show that they are not as far apart as you might think.

Maybe it's over-pessimism (I've been apartment hunting in NYC, awful) but with less offensive talent on this team with the departure of Vanek, Briere and Gionta I think that Galchenyuk will face tougher opposition and his production will deteriorate.

I wish he played centre and not the ucking smurf. It's such a crock of crap that DD gets our best wingers and our hope for a #1 centre is shoved to LW.

Funny, in one of the latest vs videos the habs do, Eller had to throw a football at a cardboard cutout of Galcheyuk and he said something along the lines of "If this is anything like on the ice it will be hard, because he's always moving, always out of position". He had success on wing in Sarnia, but this is a big step above that, just funny how Larry threw that in there.

On the other side of the coin, if Galchenyuk gets tougher competition, he gets more ice time to work some magic

 

[poetryinmotion]

60+ pts.

(if Therrien ever smartens up?)

Yes, I think it is just that. Not sure how you can say you're being optimistic or neutral while being unimpressed with a 19yo who missed an entire junior season before his draft year, came back to play as a winger, go straight the NHL and manage .5ppg pace while playing on 3rd line minutes or facing tougher duties on Plek's wing.

Galchenyuk's production rate per minute in his rookie year was better than RNH or Eberle or Hall. Last year, pretty much everybody produced at a lower rate, some even had close to career lows. So I don't think you need to worry all that much, I'd be surprised if that was the norm.
Galy has been pretty impressive all things considered, I think you're being a little too pessimistic.
