Just for kicks, here's my knee jerk goal projections (guesses)
Gaudreau 20/25 - Monahan 25/30 - Ferland 15/20
Tkachuk 15/20 - Backlund 15/20 - Frolik 10/15
Versteeg 10/15 - Bennett 10/15 - Brouwer 10/15
Hamilton 0/5 - Stajan 0/5 - Lazar 0/5
Jankowski and other call-ups - 0/5 over the season
Forward goals - Low side would be 160, let's say 165.
Giordano 10/15 - Hamilton 10/15
Brodie 5/10 - Hamonic 5/10
Kulak 0/5 - Stone 0/5
7th D -0/5 over the season
Defensemen goals - low side would be 40, let's say 42.
Total GF: 207
Seems reasonable? Most guesses are on the low side. If the team takes a step forward and plays more consistently (especially from the start of the season), 225 GF seems entirely doable. It would just take a forward or two to hit the high side of their range and perhaps the PP to be a little better.
207 would rank us 22nd in the 15-16 season. 225 GF (an improvement of 3 from last season) would put us right in the middle of the pack last season.
