These would be my approximate point totals, rounding up/down. Lines will shuffle around, but grouping the trios that you could guess would be with each other most. Being optimistic that Tkachuk makes it. I just sense a lot of determination with that kid.

Gaudreau 85
Monahan 70
Shinkaruk 40

Bennett 50
Brouwer 40
Tkachuk 30

Backlund 45
Frolik 35
Ferland 20

Bouma 25
Stajan 15
Chiasson 20

Bollig 5

I know it's very optimistic to say 40 for Shinkaruk, but if Brouwer does indeed end up being a 'pairing' with Bennett, then I'd say it's likely Shink for the top line RW as Chiasson I don't like has the talent to last there. And whoever plays on that wing is bound to have their stats inflated more than if they were playing with others. So I don't think it'd be far off. 15-25 for Shink I could definitely see.

Why not...let's do D

Giordano 50
Brodie 45

Hamilton 45
Jokipakka 20

Wideman 30
Engelland 15

Wotherspoon 5

I wonder if that's about right on or not if we had another 230 goal season. Hard to gauge, cause I didn't specify the goals for each.

Edit: Probably a bit optimistic, given
the Blackhawks had 6 players of 40 or more points, and 9 of 30 or more.
the Stars had 6 players of 40 or more, and 11 hovering around 30+.

I'm predicting 9 of 40 or more and 12 of 30 or more.
2 or 3 players totals have to probably be cut down a bit.

But I sense that it's a pretty safe bet our top 3 D are breaking 40 points.
Maybe too optimistic with Shinkaruk. Maybe Backlund is more in the 35-40 point range again.

A lot of thinking out loud here. It's late.
