[Taluss]

I don't expect a lot from him this season, but Im definitely happy hes gonna be getting some experience right away. Hopefully around 30pts

 

[2CHAINZ]

100 pts or bust

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Play him 1st or 2nd line minutes that's all i ask.

 

[GCK]

I will assume a 48 game schedule so I’ll go

10G 30A. People will say this is high but I expect him on PP1 from game 1. Star in the making.

 

[armani]

I expect an EK65 type growth curve with Tim The Franchise Stutzle. Next season is for him to learn and polish his North American game. He will be one of the team's top forwards by 2022 towards being an impact player in the league.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

30 points and in DJ’s dog house.

 

[Agent Zub]

prob 2nd or 3rd in team scoring. maybe even 1st lol

 

[Hale The Villain]

Here's a list of forwards that have made the NHL in their 18YR old season: Elite Prospects - NHL Stats All-time season

My guess would be similar production to that of Svechnikov, Kakko, Hughes - somewhere between 30-40P over a full season.

Maybe could get 40-50P if he runs the powerplay as a rookie. Could happen given how little talent we have at forward.

 

[BankStreetParade]

I guess it depends how many games are played. A 60-game schedule: 12-17g, 32-40a with about 35% of his production coming on the PP.

 

[Cosmix]

I will guess 0.5 points per game, split equally between goals and assists.

 

[JD1]

I expect an EK65 type growth curve with Tim The Franchise Stutzle. Next season is for him to learn and polish his North American game. He will be one of the team's top forwards by 2022 towards being an impact player in the league.

He'll be a star by the 2022 season

 

[Sun God Nika]

If Stutzle ends up in any sort of dog house the coach should be shown the door.
I’m gonna say he scores 15 goals 35 assists for a rookie season . If he gets extended power play time and becomes a go to player for offence then there is potential to have a Calder worthy season of 20g40a

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

I want his opening game to be against the leafs and Stützle scores 5 goals... just so f***ing pig nose’s record is gone.

 

[Senscore]

I want his opening game to be against the leafs Stützle score 5 goals... just so f***ing pig nose’s record is gone.

I'd be ok if he scores just 3, but then we win.

 

[bicboi64]

Hoping for him to have a franchise forward impact. If he's our cornerstone forward prospect, I sure as heck hope he's nothing like Kotkaniemi's first season and more like someone like Petersson

 

[Tuna99]

He’ll match rookie Brady Tkachuk’s production:

21G - 23A- 44P

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Coming over from Europe, compressed schedule, and a weak lineup overall...have to keep expectations realistic.

Assuming an 82 game season and he plays most of them, I'd hope for 30 points.

But the big thing will be icetime. We can't give him 4th line minutes and expect development. I also wouldn't put him on the first line against strong teams.

Edit to add: this year won't be about points. It's adapting and learning the NHL game, and seeing consistent improvement in his game in the latter half of the season. That's what we want to look for.

 

[Silencio]

I want his opening game to be against the leafs Stützle score 5 goals... just so f***ing pig nose’s record is gone.

And then Elliotte Friedman is forced to tell Leafs fans that they "have no soul" if they didn't enjoy it.

 

[DrSense]

Likely a 40 point pace, in the 12-28 range in terms goals: assists. He is definitely a pass first guy, who will be especially deferential to linemates in his first season. Would be extremely pleased with a 0.5 pace.

 

[topshelf15]

He plays in Europe next season...Comes in the following year

 

[ijif]

Overall, we can expect a top-six forward. How good of a top-six forward is a complete guess. Here are Stutzle's DY production comparables (NHLe in the 30 range):

M. Granlund	39	Liiga
W. Nylander	37	ALS
K. Fiala	36	SHL
T. Stutzle	35	DEL
T. Hertl	35	CZR
K. Kakko	35	Liiga
A. Wennberg	33	ALS
D. Pastrnak	32	ALS
P. Laine	30	Liiga
A. Holtz	30	SHL

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

You can see that basically all these players are or will be top-six players, but they still vary in overall impact. We might get a William Nylander level player. We might get a David Pastrnak level player.

God that would be nice.

 

[TheDebater]

He’ll match rookie Brady Tkachuk’s production:

21G - 23A- 44P

Is Stutzle really a goal sxoree though? 20+ goals for his rookie season seems a bit lofty for me. Then again if Patrick Kane is his comparable...

My guess is 1st unit PP time and a regular shift with the better offensive weapons.

Somebody has to score some goals; he might be our best
