Speculation: Potential Sharks new low point in futility. Can we do it?

[TheBeard]

So, this is interesting. In the entire history of the San Jose Sharks, they've never had a full season in which they didn't have a 20 goal scorer. Duclair had 16 and Hertl had 15 so obviously they're not getting there, and the only one with a shot is Fabian Zetterlund who needs 4 goals to hit that mark. Behind him are Eklund, Zadina and Hoffman at 10 so they're clearly not going to come close.

The question is, will Zetterlund do it?

We can do it.

And then look at Chicago who is even worse then us. And they can potentially end up with 3. Dickinson, Bedard and Foligno are all within 5 goals.

In before Eklund goes on a heater, scoring a goal per game the rest of the way to finish at 29/30 and single-handedly costs the team the top lottery spot with his 30th goal being a buzzer-beater GWG in the final game of the season to move 2 points ahead of Chicago and 1 point ahead of Ottawa in the standings.

because shorks.

As long as we lose, I don’t care if Zetterlund ends the season with 40goals

I also wonder, Granlund has 40 points so there's a decent chance he gets to 50 points. Without looking it up, I wonder if we've ever had a season where we didn't have a 50 point player.

I'm curious how many other unflattering records we're on the verge of breaking.

In before Kunin goes on a heater, scoring a goal per game the rest of the way to finish at 29/30 and single-handedly costs the team the top lottery spot with his 30th goal being a buzzer-beater GWG in the final game of the season to move 2 points ahead of Chicago and 1 point ahead of Ottawa in the standings.

FTFY

The worst was 200/01, marleau 52.

Nah. Kunin doing it would be darkest timeline hilarity. Eklund doing it would be full-on end of Star Wars Episode III "YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!" betrayal that would hurt infinitely more.

Also Kunin has 8 goals so he'd need to score at an even higher rate to get there.

Kunin goes on a heater, ends up with 30 goals while leading the team to 29th in standings. Grier resigns Luke to a Labanc-like contract.

Which comes with an asterisk as both Damphousse and Nolan were well on their way (both ppg or near) if it weren’t for injuries and suspensions.

There was another that for sure was an asterisk, 34 in 46 in 1993-94.

That’s why I worded my original post with “full season”

Thomas Boderleau. He is averaging 2 goals per game since being recalled. We have something like 20 games left right?
He's projected to have 25 goals this season. LOL
