Poll: How many guys score 15+ goals?

[Habs Halifax]

Interesting Poll and curious to see where the voting falls.

(56 games / 82 games x 20 goal seasons = 13.65 goals). 15 goals is the equivalent to a 22 goal season (82 game season)

10 guys have a shot at it
Suzuki
Danault
Kotkaniemi
Drouin
Tatar
Anderson
Gallagher
Toffoli
Armia
Weber

Interesting Poll and curious to see where the voting falls.

I think a more interesting question would be, how many score 13 or 14, which is on pace to score 20 over an 82 game season.

Scoring 20 in 56 games is on pace to score 30 over 82 games. Highly unlikely we have more than five 30 goal scorers.

Is it too late to change the question?

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

5 or under.
I have:
- Kotkaniemi
- Tatar
- Gallagher
- Anderson
- Toffoli

Don't see anybody else getting it. Potentially Suzuki, but I expect more of a 13 goals, 36 assists kind of season from him.

K... 15 goals in 56 games is like 22 goals. I'll change it to 13 goals.

Edit, it's not letting me change it now. I guess it can stay as is. Prorated 22 goal seasons.

I didn't see that the poll and thread title are different questions...

It allowed me to edit it once but probably before the voting kicked in. I changed it from 20 goals to 15 right before you voted (probably). But just noticed the poll question and thread title are different.

 

[Habs Halifax]

@Treb

Need help from a mod... Can you change the thread title to say 15 goals (not 20). It's not letting me edit

 

[dcyhabs]

New players have to learn to play together and the habs don't normally score a whole lot anyway. Could be just Gallagher.

 

[Kriss E]

Don't see more than 5...It's very rare to have so many players score that much.
Back in 07-08, we had 9 players score 10+, that's over a full season. The Caps had 10 guys over 10 goals + in 09-10, again, over a full year.
The Oilers in 83-84, the highest scoring team in NHL history, had 9 players with over 15G.
The Pens in 90-91, had 10 guys with 15+.

Having 10 guys of 15+ in 56gp....is highly unlikely. That would be a record.
Only Gallagher and Tatar broke the 20g mark last season. I'll be very happy with 10 guys of 10+ goals in 56 gp, 4 of those will hopefully be around the 20g mark.

You listed Drouin twice.

 

[Habs Halifax]

You listed Drouin twice.

He's going to be everywhere this year . Thanks. I'll edit that. One was suppose to be Danault and I fear your comments on that one now

 

[danyhabsfan]

This thread looks like my morning today (monday) after 2 weeks off.

15 goals, 20 goals, 13.65 goals

I think you can edit the thread title if need be

Because you know Danault never scored 15 in his career, let alone doing it over 56 GP.

Ice time will be limited with such depth, they're going to have to be very efficient scorers if you want them to score 15+ in 56gp.

I tried. It let me change the poll question once but now it's not letting me change either of the thread title or poll question.

Hey, vote as you see fit. Your choice. I included Danault but not Byron so go figure. It's not impossible to have 9 or 10 guys with prorated 20 goals seasons. In fact, it would be more difficult for the top heavy teams vs how the Habs are build to roll lines IMO. We also probably have two spread out PP units too

I voted 6-8. Cause you know... I'm "optimistic" . You would think I would have voted 8-10 eh?

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Tatar
Gallagher
Toffoli
Suzuki
Anderson

So five.

Unless they slump:
Tatar
Gallagher
Toffoli

Have it before:
Anderson
Byron (though he may be in and out of the lineup)
Weber (slowing down)

Are on the rise:
Suzuki
Kk
Drouin playing with suzuki all year?
Armia?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Tatar Gallagher and Toffoli (20 goals and not 15...)

1- because Clode cant coach for shizzle and wont change the danault line.
2- Toffoli unless injuries , is a sure choice
3- Drouin cant score 20 goals in a 82 games season easy no
4- Suzuki will most likely have more assists but like 10-12 goals.
5- Kotkaniemi will probably end up with Perry and Armia and stuck with useless wingers for UFA danault. so no.
6- Danault ofc not , dude cant even play on the pp even with 5 injuries.
7- Don't think anderson will crack 20 goals.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Tatar
Gallagher
Toffoli
Suzuki
Anderson

So five.

Weber had 13 goals in 56 games last year if you prorate his numbers. That's with a bottom 5 PP too! I voted 6-8 cause I don't think we are not a two line team and one PP unit top heavy type. Who scores the 15+ goals? Could be any combo of the 10 guys I listed in the opening thread.

 

[Andy]

There is only one puck and a limited amount of game time.

It's often the case that when a team adds a goal scorer to the lineup that another goal scorer sees a reduction in goals because of basic game limitations.

If 14 goals is a 20 goal equivalent, I could see three habs reaching that threshold by the end of the season. I'd guess Gallagher, Toffoli and Anderson will hit those totals.

You also need to factor in injuries.

The last time the habs had more than three 20 goal scorers was 2014/2015.

Since 2014/2015, the habs have had only more than two 20 goal scorers once.

Also, I think a "5 and under category" shouldn't be the first option in the poll. It should be 3, then 5.

Anyone expect five 20 goal scorers should really adjust their expectations. The habs only made the playoffs twice in the last 5 years and would have missed last season if not for the COVID tournament.

The 2018/2019 lightning had 5 players with 20 goals or more and that was a very, very deep team that scored a lot of goals. The 2007/2008 habs was one of its highest scoring teams in recent memory and they only 4 20 goal scorers.

Would be good to know how many teams have actually finished with ten 20G players through history.
As you said, we have two potentially good PP units, which is great for the team but from an individual stand point, only one player will score on it.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Looking at last year, we had 4 guys with a few on the fringe. 7 guys had 0.23 goals/game or higher. Kovalchuk and Drouin only playing 22 games and 27 games.

 

[Treb]

Assuming healthy seasons

Sure shot:
Gallagher
Tatar

Probably:
Suzuki
Anderson

Maybe:
Toffoli
Weber

Not likely:
Drouin
Kotkaniemi
Byron

Would be very surprised:
Armia
Danault
Lehkonen

I voted 6-8, but after looking at it, I'm changing it to 5. Gallagher, Tatar, Suzuki, Anderson and Toffoli are my bets.

 

[Maitz]

Gallagher Tatar Toffoli Anderson

but a bunch of 10-15 like Drouin Suzuki KK Weber Petry
