expectations ??

[Hurricane28]

25-30 points. I don't think he will keep the same pace up that he did last year.

 

[Beef Invictus]

10 goals and 1 touchdown.

 

[BernieParent]

13 goals, 23 points. Shuffled around the line-up, ending on the 2nd line. One of our biggest 'goat' targets of the upcoming season.

 

[deadhead]

If he has a regular slot on a top 3 line, Weal could give you 15-20 goals and 30-35 points at LW. If he plays on the 2nd PP, add another 5 goals and 10 points. More than that would be gravy.

 

[Curufinwe]

Will take G's spot as the 1C by Christmas.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

hands down our best ufa signing this year

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Will take G's spot as the 1C by Christmas.

I assume G stands for Gretzky?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

15G 15A
if plays a full season.

I think 25-30 points is a reasonable expectation for Jordan "Striiker" Weal

I like the idea of a 3rd line of Weal - Patrick - Simmonds, although I could see Filppula as LW here as well so he can take some draws for Patrick.

[BritainStix]

There is no reason we cannot expect 30 points from weal in whatever combination of assists/goals gets him there. He showed a real nose for the goal towards the end of last year and was willing to get dirty to score his goals. He's always had talent.

 

[GKJ]

Would like him to play well enough to make Raffl expendable, which would put him around 30 points.

 

[Danko]

50 in 30.

 

[04' hockey]

I'm thinking he's the real deal the way he played last year.....
15 G 30 a - at least

 

[GKJ]

He seems to be more of a goal-scorer, so I doubt there would be that kind of disparity from G to A unless he gets a ton of time and has a bad shooting percentage. He goes to the net and scores goals. Probably going to get to play with Giroux 5v5.

He's like a poor man's Brendan Gallagher, so I wouldn't be surprised with relatively even G/A splits.

Gallagher has 87 goals and 98 assists in his career so far.

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

25 goals - 30 assists, 55 points. He's going to fill Schenn's shoes in terms of offensive production. He might not get PP1 power play time, but he'll get quite a bit of even strength time and with his chemistry with Simmonds, he's going to get a lot of rebound/garbage goals and numerous secondary assists. I expect that those two will start the season with Giroux as their center.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh excuse me?

 

[Magua]

I hope that his possession stats weren't a mirage and that he can provide actual play-driving ability to a team that too often lacks it. If he can compliment being a good play-driver (his SSS was great....reason to be skeptical he is actually that good), with his ability to get to the dirty areas (another thing this team needs), and middle 6 scoring.....yippee. If he plays PP2, and he probably could and should, I don't think 15-20 goals and 40 points is crazily optimistic, with his value going beyond the scoring.

One thing we didn't see is his playmaking ability, and he's a good one. I think he has the chance to flash that more when his shooting % drops. He has a lot of talent, compete, and smarts. I'm going to try to not make the mistake of doubting him again.

 

[Flyotes]

Man, I really like the idea of calling Weal "Striiker" going forward.

 

[Curufinwe]

Man, I really like the idea of calling Weal "Striiker" going forward.

Cause he's a like goal scoring forward in soccer, right?

I can't think of any other reason that would be a perfect nickname for Weal.

Kramer might be making some of these predictions.

I'm all for optimism... but damn...
