Speculation: Top 10 Leafs scoring leaders for 2019-2020 - #1

[Leafs at Knight]

My list:
1) Marner 30G 99P
2) Matthews: 48G 95P
3) Tavares: 42G 92P
4) Nylander: 25G 65P
5) Barrie: 16G 63P
6) Rielly: 14G 61P
7) Kapanen: 22G 52P
8) Kerfoot: 14G 45P
9) Mikheyev: 18G 43P
10) Muzzin: 12G 42P

Your 8-10 over Johnsson is quite the prediction.

I think Hyman and Johnsson are both in contention, and wouldn’t be surprised if they made the top 10. Moore and Petan has an outside shot too!

I would definitely have Johnsson in the top 10 over the guys 8-10. One hasn't even played in the NHL yet, Muzzin will be getting tough matchups which will probably hinder his offence, and Kerfoot - who I'd have in my top 10, I can't see him beating Johnsson unless he goes off on the pp but I see Johnsson on the first PP unless they Kerfoot or Nylander takes that spot.

 

[Mr Hockey]

Marner wins the points
Tavares scores the most

 

[Havoc]

My list:
1) Marner 30G 99P
2) Matthews: 48G 95P
3) Tavares: 42G 92P
4) Nylander: 25G 65P
5) Barrie: 16G 63P
6) Rielly: 14G 61P
7) Kapanen: 22G 52P
8) Kerfoot: 14G 45P
9) Mikheyev: 18G 43P
10) Muzzin: 12G 42P

Wondering what your reasoning is to have Nylander at 65 points when you have his line mates combining for 66 goals (assuming your line is Mik-Mat-Nyl) and Rielly and Barrie combining for 30.

40 assists pretty low no? He already has a 40 assist year under his belt where only 7 were on the powerplay. He didn't have team mates putting up monster numbers like your predictions either when he put up those 40 assists.

 

[LeafingTheWay]

Matthews at 22 y/o with Nylander with actual 1st line minutes = insane production.

My list:
1) Matthews: 52G 101P
2) Marner 22G 92P
3) Tavares: 41G 91P
4) Nylander: 25G 85P
5) Barrie: 22G 61P
6) Rielly: 15G 61P
7) Kapanen: 22G 50P
8) Kerfoot: 12G 47P
9) Johnsson: 20G 45P
10) Moore: 13G 41P

Last year I predicted 64 points and he let me down, so not willing to go much higher at this point. I’m not saying he won’t, I just put a number down that I was comfortable with.

Also, there are a ton of cases where players score 30+ points less than their linemates...

 

[Marshy]

Went with Matthews I say he tops 100 points / 50 goals this year and stays healthy. I think him and Mitch will rake on the PP which I think will be much better this year with Barrie and no Jim Hillier system.

Yeah if Matthews puts up 95 points with 48 goals, I'd expect Nylander to be approaching 80 in a season. He'd definitely surpass his career norm of 60-65.

I don't think 25-30 goals and 55-60 assists is unreasonable for Nylander next year.

 

[TimeZone]

Matthews if he can stay healthy all year long, which I'm not banking on.

I voted for him either way, trying to be optimistic for once.

In a lot of those cases either the third line mate has identical points to the second or the line mate with the massive amount of points racks up 35-45 power play points.

If it's the latter then you need to bump Marner and Tavares up to 110.

 

[BorntoLose]

Matthews for sure breaks 100 if he healthy (pls lord let him stay healthy)

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Come on guys. We all know Gravel will be our points leader.

 

[18leafsfan18]

Matthews.

If he plays with Nylander, even more confident about it.

 

[Leafs1993]

Come on guys. We all know Gravel will be our points leader.

...In the AHL

Could have waited for Marner to sign before doing this poll?

Yeah I guess we could have, but he can end up signing Oct 1st for all we know, which is why I decided to do it now. This is more of an offseason thread.

Also we did last year with Nylander holding out.

Bonus points for good presentation!

 

[Incetardis]

I'm thinking a healthy Matthews takes it back from marner but wouldn't it be tasty if Willy has a career year and takes it. I like where 2% of voters heads are at right now

Honestly believe he has it in him, I don’t think the difference between him and Marner is as big as others seem to believe

I'm voting Nylander at #3. Might get some flak for it, but I think he will redeem himself from last year playing with Matthew's.

 

[Morgs]

Hit em with the 4.

 

[ACC1224]

Pretty hard to vote against Marner here

 

[Kamiccolo]

Want to vote Matthews, but he needs to stay healthy. And I don't just mean games played. He was pretty damn awful for about 2 months (Jan - Feb) which a lot of us said he was hurt.
