I think we all have a pretty good idea of what form that somehow will take

0. They will score 0 goals

Side story: They will give up 0 goals

And lose all games in shootouts

 

[Joe McGrath]

Side story: They will give up 0 goals

0-0-82 would be one point worse than last year.

Now here's a question.

How many shutouts do Darling and Mrazek combine for this season? The O/U has to be something absurdly small, like 1.5 or 2.5, right?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Darling had none last year.
Cam Ward had 2 last year.
Mrazek had 4 last year.

 

[Unsustainable]

0-0-82 would be one point worse than last year.

Draft 4th

 

[Svechhammer]

Darling had none last year.
Cam Ward had 2 last year.
Mrazek had 4 last year.

well there you go, Mrazek is twice as good of a goalie as 2017 Camward. We're totally fine this year

The languish in mediocrity, but get hot down the stretch edition:

Player	Goals	Comments
Aho	30	Shooting percentage goes down, but shots taken goes up. TSA relied upon heavily.
PDG	2	No Top 9 ice time this season
Ferland	10	Traded at the deadline
Maenalanen	1	He'll play a couple
Martinook	4	Loses significant ice time in the trade
McGinn	18	A couple more go in
Necas	15	Solid rookie season
Rask	15	Recommits to playing inside the dots, but struggles to find his role on the PP
Staal	22	Lots of ice time
Svechnikov	22	Hall-esque rookie season
TT	20	Loses goals, gains assists
Williams	13	Sticks around past the deadline
Zykov	14	Plenty of PP time all season long and Top 9 minutes down the stretch
CDH	3	Not a goal scorer
Faulk	10	Shooting percentage rebounds, but the ice time cuts hurt; traded at the deadline
Fleury	2	Finally scores
Hamilton	18	Proves 17-18 wasn't a fluke
Pesce	5	Stats shooting the puck more
Slavin	7	Pretty static
TVR	1	4 RHD gets old fast; traded before the end of the year

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Call-ups add 7 or so, bringing the total to 239, which would have been good for 16th place last season.

If Faulk gets moved, the D goals are down 5-6, Hamilton gets 13, Pesce 9, Slavin 9.

If the return from Faulk is a forward, then the forward goals go up 5-6, with the new forward getting some from McGinn and Zykov.

In any event 236 goals.

I’m bullish on Hamilton’s goal scoring prowess. He should be getting prime PP time and I believe his goal scoring totals have gone up every year he’s been in the league. If he’s healthy all year, I don’t see why he can’t hit 20g and 50pts.

My total is 244, which I think is too high. I’d be pretty surprised if Faulk is still on the roster in October, so more than likely, his 10g are gone. Also I think Zykov’s/Maenalenen’s/PDG’s total of 28g may be too optimistic.

If the team somehow scores 230 or more, our only and biggest worry will still be the questionable quality of our goaltending.

 

[Svechhammer]

“Bah Gawd, that’s Eddie Lack’s music!”

lol could you imagine... Darling gets pulled and all of the sudden the lights go dark, fog starts to pour out of the locker hallway, a red light starts to pulse lighting it all up, the music begins to build, and then suddenly, silence... a couple seconds later

"Lackooooooooo.... Lackooooo tacooooooooooo"

And then he bursts through the fog music blasting and the fans going nuts

I feel like a folding chair should be involved but I'm not sure how

Pretty bullish on fleury tbh

This probably ends with Ward being awful for Chicago and the Canes trading Darling for him straight up to get the extra $ and year off their books.

 

[Novacane]

Just for reference, last year the board's most popular choice was 240-249 and the Canes came in at 225 (I predicted 240), so it looks like right now, it's coming lower than last year's projections. Only @Novacane and @wastedtime got it right by picking 220-229.

Skinner (24 vs. 31), Stempniak partly due to injury (3 vs. 11), and Faulk (8 vs. 21) were my biggest misses on the negative side last year.

Hopefully Novacane isn't right with his zero prediction this year.

 

[geehaad]

Thanks for the format, Big Daddy Cane.

Player	Goals	Comments
Aho	25	Points stay up, but goals go down
PDG	2	No Top 9 ice time this season.
Ferland	13	Spends time on all 3 lines and does ok, but never meshes. Traded at the deadline
Maenalanen	6	Early-season look gets 1 or 2, then gets sent down, returns after Ferland trade and gets 7 down the stretch playing with Aho, then Necas.
Martinook	4	The 4th line will not get scoring TOI
McGinn	12	Gets moved to 4th line in 2019.
Necas	15	Calling my shot. Defenses won’t know how to contain this kid. But lack of PP time hurts goal total.
Rask	10	Loses his role on the PP and the top 9
Staal	18	Nothing changes. Having McGinn and Williams won’t help matters. Slow start, scoring picks up after Foegele brought up.
Svechnikov	22	Impresses with Necas, but fails to convert on many quality chances. Breaks out the following year.
TT	25	Capitalizes on Aho’s setup and quality other winger
Williams	15	Slllllllow, but gets PP points
Zykov	17	Gets Aho and PP love, but not enough to stay on top line.
Foegele	8	Gets called up when McGinn and Ferland don’t fit with Staal.
CDH	3	Not a goal scorer
Faulk	0	traded before the season starts
Fleury	4	Shows us a bit
Hamilton	15	Drives everything, but doesn’t score as much
Pesce	5	Better scorer than his stats show
Slavin	6	Pretty static
TVR	4	pretty static

229 total, I think?

 

[Canes]

So what I gather from this thread, most will be predicting us to be in the running for Jack Hughes by New Years (or will it be Thanksgiving?) whenever the "predict our season" thread is started.

Feels bad man.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Most people are predicting we score more than last year from what I can tell.

I think 30 more then last season
