Speculation: Top 5 leading scorers for 2018-2019 - #4

[Leafs1993]

Who do you think will be #4 in points this season? I will do a poll tomorrow night to find out the top 5 in points based on your predictions. Might be fun to look back at the end of the season.

1: Auston Matthews (47.2% 51 votes)
2: John Tavares (50% 46 votes)
3: Mitch Marner (87.8% 108 votes)
4:
5:

Mitch Marner wins the #3 spot by a landslide. My choice is pretty obvious for #4 in William Nylander. I don’t believe Nylander will be far from Marner points wise. What I hope to see from Willy is for him to use his lethal shot more often. We saw what happened this past season when Marner started shooting more, I think it’s only a matter of time before he figures it out. I predict 70-75 point season for Wee Willy Nylander.

1) Marner (28G 93P)
2) Tavares (39G 90P)
3) Matthews (44G 88P)
4) Nylander (24G, 64P)
5) Kadri (29G, 60P)
6) Rielly (8G, 53P)
7) Hyman (20G, 50P)
8) Gardiner (10G, 46P)
9) Johnsson (18G, 45P)
10) Marleau (22G, 44P)

If Matthews "breaks out" this year, I think Nylander's point production will bump up also. Should be close to the rest of the 3 stars on the team.

 

[Romkey]

I went off the board and took Rielly. If he is given the same freedom as last year, coupled with playing with JT, I think it's possible he puts up 65 points (guessing Nylander will hit 64).

@Leafs1993 Can we make this a top 10? I think 5-10 will be more interesting!

 

[Notsince67]

1) Marner (28G 93P)
2) Tavares (39G 90P)
3) Matthews (44G 88P)
4) Nylander (24G, 64P)
5) Kadri (29G, 60P)
6) Rielly (8G, 53P)
7) Hyman (20G, 50P)
8) Gardiner (10G, 46P)
9) Johnsson (18G, 45P)
10) Marleau (22G, 44P)

A reasonable pair for Rielly could unleash his offensive game. Pairing with Haisey is like playing the PK

Yeah sure can.

 

[MyBudJT]

Yeah sure can.

Thanks dude!

Nylander by a landslide. All of last year he looked like a player who was ready to break out. He's got the shot to score 30 and the skating/vision/linemates for 50 assists. Matthews, Tavares, Marner, and Nylander are all going to go PPG this year and it's going to be f***ING AWESOME!

 

[Lauro]

Add Josh Leivo!

 

[Ziggdiezan]

I would add Brown in a few rounds. He is likely going to get proper top 9 usage rather than babysitting JVR and Bozak at ES while also getting consistent PP time.

I bet brown has a career year.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

If Matthews is healthy this year I would expect Nylander to be within +/- 5 points of Matthews as I expect they are going to play all their ice time (ES + PP) together.

When Matthews is scoring or creating great assists Nylander is usually involved and generating a lot of offense himself.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

I have a gut feeling Kadri tears it uo against weaker competition. Went against the grain and chose him here for #4 for no other reason besides hunch.

 

[Leafs1993]

Add Josh Leivo!

Will do
