Problem is you don’t know what to expect from either of them. CC is a rookie and after seeing him in the playoffs, teams will target him. Suzuki should be able to replicate but he struggled through multiple stretches last year. Which Toffoli will we see - the one who scored close to 30 goals or the one who disappeared in the playoffs? Anderson? He’s like Armia - one game he’s a superstar and then disappears for stretches.
And heaven forbid Suzuki gets hurt or slumps.
First, I will not prognosticate so as not to jinx it, but look at CC's pedigree. He's a pure goal scorer and dominated at every level. He was dangerous as Hell in tthe friggin stanley cup playoffs as a rookie fresh from his sophomore year in college. Regular season will be "easier". I cringe as I write that, because I don't want to jinx it, but he's just pure goal scoring personified. Plus, he's just a fantastic person. Moreover, he can play on any line as long as the can get the puck in the Ozone and he gets ice time, there will be goals.
Anderson, yes, hot and cold, but on average over a season, he will get goals. Consistently, night in night out? Probably not, but on average, yes. He's a one trick pony, but that trick is hard to stop until he gets old and slows down.
Toffoli was injured in the playoffs. Pretty well documented at this point. A groin may be one of the toughest things to play through as a hockey player. As long as he fully heals, he'll be the 30 goal Toffoli.
Suzuki? He will likely slump at times, but he took a massive step forward in the POs this year. He is a legit 2 way 1 C. He will generate offense.
Even without Anderson, that is the best scoring crop in years and heck, two of them are under 22 years old..!!!! The sky is not falling on offense.
Defense?.... that may be another story. We shall see.
