My 2 cents on the math of the Clarke injury:
Missing for this season:
Felhaber - 59 goals
Chmelevski - 35 goals
Clark - 17 goals
Average: 1.67 goals per game played
Maksimovich - 12 goals in 28 games
Chiodo - 10 goals in 28 games
Average: .786 goals per game played
So you're looking to replace 2.46 goals per game with Clarke (who was on pace to score 53), Hoelscher (on pace to score 43), Rossi (on pace to score 32) and Keating (on pace to score 27) if they all play the balance of the season with no suspensions or injuries (which we now know Clarke will miss significant time). Those 4, this season compared to last, are a potential combined + 1.26 goals per game played improvement, which we now know will be significantly lower. Bottom line is a 1.2 goals for per game reduction which will likely be significantly worse minus Clarke. It's not impossible to imagine the 67's, as presently rostered, scoring a full 2 fewer goals per game.
After 10 games played:
Tolnai (who has had time on the top line and PP) - 0 goals
Robinson (who has had time on the top line and PP) - 0 goals
Beck (who has had time on the top line and PP) - 0 goals
Crete (who has had time on the top line, be it only a game and a bit) - 0 goals
Yule - 0 goals
Johnston - 0 goals
The platooning rookie defensemen and Tourigny, who make up the 12th forward - 1 goal (but I believe Sawyer was a D that game)
Every player tried with Rossi-Keating-Clarke (in Rossi's 5-game absence and since Clarke injury -- albiet a game and a period) and Hoelscher-Quinn has failed to click so far (still only mid-October).
Even with the strong veteran defense corps and Andree playing as well as he can (last season a team 2.69 GA/GM), the 67's are statistically likely to score around 2.35 GF/GM, which last season would have put them 19th in a 20-team league.
So, with all due respect to OMG, unless Boyd makes more than one significant move to add scoring, the 67's won't make the playoffs.
