51-60, don't want to put skyhigh expectations for a 19 years old rookie.
Obviously i would love to be wrong

41-50 but I wouldn't put it past him to hit 70. I'm not sure he'll see enough games to put up big numbers, he's certainly capable. Whatever his games played comes out to, I'm guessing he'll sit around .8ppg.

41-50. The NHL regular season is way different than the preseason. Most kids aren't ready for the 82-game grind and hit a wall around the break. I'd love to see him throw up 75-80 and win the Calder over Bedard(who I don't think will get more than 60 points), but I think 41-50 is more realistic.

this. My rationale for betting 200$ with a friend that maccelli gets more point than him

60 pts in around 70 games. I don't see him playing every game this year. If he plays all 82 games I can see him putting up 75.
Keller put up 65 as a rookie when league scoring was lower. Depends on what prospect you think was better coming in. health is also a big thing. This kid can put up 75.
71.
Keller did that in an environment where we had other scoring threads to protect him as well as defensively responsible forwards to shoulder the brunt of that work. We lack for the latter a bit right now, the only reason our team didn't give up even more goals last season was the netminding was passable, and we gave up a lot as it is.
But we're in even better shape on the former right now than we have been in a long time.
I think he's got the conditions to succeed and he's going to. I'm not as bullish on the overall team record as some seem to be but I do think there are going to be a lot of really good individual performances this season, building on last year.

I'd say that Cooley will be playing with better players than Keller did in his rookie season. He is also a more highly touted prospect than Keller was coming in. If he gets lot of pp time, and plays all 82 games I can see him hitting 70+.
I have no idea where he ends up but those predicting 70 or more points might notice only 8 players have done that since 2000. Possible but maybe not probable.

This got me wondering how many players have scored at least 60. A quick search and I landed on only 22 players. That's not a lot.
I have a feeling Bedard will get injured.I know there will be 9........but Cooley was the question!!

There's obviously 81 games left but there's a reason I took my shot and said 70+ when I"m usually pretty reserved in predictions.
He just has an it factor. Some guys just come out of development ready to compete against pros. Whatever he tops out at as years down the line, he has the touch and vision to perform now.
Keller had it, Domi had it. Chychrun had it.
Someone like Guenther by contrast, obviously has skill but he's just not there yet. He's never looked as poised in any of his 30ish games as Cooley looked last night.
