I think I’m going to go with Matthews.

If the Leafs put Marner on his line for a full season, I feel like that gives him the best shot.

Draisaitl is my number 2 option. I think those two guys will be the best goal scorers for the next few years.

 

[wabagee]

I’ll go with Matthews, The one trick pony!

 

[Dekes For Days]

Matthews is easily the most likely.

 

[FoxyClean]

I'll go with the best goal-scorer in the league, currently. Mika Zibanejad.

 

[RSeen]

I'd vote Matthews over Ovechkin even if he was included due to their relative ages.

 

[Isaak16]

97?

 

[Midnight Judges]

I don't like any of their chances. These 7 players have one 50 goal season among them.

 

[Bluesguru]

Pasta or Matthews. Voted for Pasta.

 

[Merrrlin]

McDavid or Matthews.

 

[Regal]

Matthews and Pasta both paced close to it this year (55 and 56), but Pasta was doing it with high PP time and unusually high PP production, while playing on a line with 2 great players 5v5. He could play a few more 5v5 minutes to up his totals, but in general, Matthews has more room to push his number up given his lower PP time, and the fact he was only put with Marner regularly under Keefe. I don't think anyone else has a shot, unless Laine gets his trajectory back on track.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

None.

 

[CatchyTune]

Highly doubt anybody hits it.

But if its anyone it will be Matthews or Pastrnak.

I would take either over Ovechkin even if he was an option.

Matthews and Pastrnak both hit it if the season isnt stopped. Maybe Draisaitl as well.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I’ll say Pastrnak over Matthews because you know Matthews is liable to get hurt at least once a season

 

[LeafsNation75]

Auston Matthews because he's always started off great each year and it helps a lot to reach a number like 60 goals.

 

[LeafsNation75]

I’ll say Pastrnak over Matthews because you know Matthews is liable to get hurt at least once a season

In Matthews rookie season he played all 82 games and this past season he played all 70 Leafs games and didn't miss any due to injury.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Your comment makes no sense. Pastrnak has played a full season in 2 out of 6 seasons (33%) and Matthews has played a full season in 2 out of 4 seasons (50%).

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Laine. I don’t think any of these other players have that potential in their game. I’m not suggesting that I think it’s anywhere near likely for Laine, but I at least think he has that potential. In his absolute prime season, I think he’ll threaten 60 goals.

 

[Gavy]

Laine. I don’t think any of these other players have that potential in their game. I’m not suggesting that I think it’s anywhere near likely for Laine, but I at least think he has that potential. In his absolute prime season, I think he’ll threaten 60 goals.

I dont understand this logic at all lmao

 

[bukwas]

I dont understand this logic at all lmao

No kidding. They all have some potential and only Panarin is lacking(Zibanejad aside) a strong supporting cast which is essential.
Voted Pasta.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I dont understand this logic at all lmao

Not my issue.

 

[82Ninety42011]

I'll take the guy that actually has hit 50 and was probably going to again this year in Draisaitl.

 

[The Abusement Park]

None of the above. Most of them still need to hit 50.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

None, only players with that capacity were ovechkin stamkos and I firmly believe Crosby would have gunned for it at 23 years old
