Who could have a fantastic season if he played full season?

[alko]

Viktor Arvidsson - 34 goals in only 58 games. G/game ratio 0,5862. If he had played full 82 games, he could have 48 goals. With some luck also 50.

Who else was strongly affected by injuries?

This year?

I mean Pastrnak would of had 48 goals and 101 points on a still #2 team in the East but maybe closer to Tampa.

That's just speculation. If he played 82 games, it's possible he still only had 34 goals.

Especially if he played injured.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Brock Boeser.

That isnt the question though

 

[Trocity]

Erik Karlsson.

 

[Super Hans]

Ryan Poehling could have had 246 goals on 100% shooting.

 

[Aladyyn]

Does it have to be injuries? Because if our GM and coach had half a brain Lawrence Pilut would be talked about as a top pairing defenseman right about now.

 

[Regal]

Ryan Murray was starting to live up to his draft position this year, but again was derailed by injury

 

[SotasicA]

Ryan Poehling could have had 246 goals on 100% shooting.

250 with some luck.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Matthews could probably go 50-50-100 if he could ever play a full season.

 

[Bmessy]

Bergeron was on a 100 point pace.

Who else was strongly affected by injuries?

And Ryan Poehling could've had 246 goals, with some luck 300.

Edit: lol should've known someone else thought of the same thing as well.

I'm sorry what? Wouldn't it be more likely that the guy that has averaged .44 assists per game over 212 games would have less assists per game as he's already kinda proven that so far he's not a great play maker? Why would you assume that he would increase his assist rate by OVER 200% just because he played 14 more games? Seems far more likely that he'd drop in rate as opposed to increase.

After all.. haven't we had to hear throughout his career that he's a much goals per game or goals per 60 player than those who outscore him? So why apply the opposite assumptions to his playmaking abilities?

Well, his injuries have been back and shoulder related and each time have taken a fair amount of games to come back from and on top of that, it takes a while to get back up to speed. If you look at the paces he was on before those injuries, my prediction looks reasonable. If it's a sticking point, then fine 50-40-90

Pretty sure his production spikes whenever he comes back from injury and slowly dips from there. Could be normal ups and downs of season but he doesnt seem need time to get into groove after a injury so far.

Ok what exact paces are we talking about here? 6 games paces? What’s the number here

Evgeni Kuznetsov season was kind of derailed from an early concussion. Although he didn't miss a ton of games he struggled to regain what he was last year and only recently has started to play the way people expect.

 

[gtrower]

No telling what Ovi could have done without the suspension.

ur right it spikes then dips.

i think matthews more then anything just needs consistent linemates.
just give him marner and hyman and he should be putting up 90+ a year.

Knock 5-10 points off that total and you are probably right. Around 45-40-85 is probably where he will live throughout his career, +/- the 5-10 points.

 

[RussianRifle27]

For the past two seasons, Joel Armia has started off strong and looked like he would get to 40 points or so but has gotten injured for a couple months and loses his momentum.

 

[Goon42]

Pastrnak, Arvidsson, Bergeron, Matthews

Such a dumb post. A 58 game sample size vs a 1 game sample size.

If you watched Arvidsson it looked like he turned a corner in his goal scoring this year and was very impressive. Not crazy to think he could’ve hit 50 if he was healthy all year which is what the thread is about.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Erik Karlsson didn’t have a great start to the season, but he was rounding into form and looking like an absolute monster before he got hurt. He had 30 points and a +17 in his last 26 games.
