Gaudreau 25
Monahan 35
Lindholm 20
Tkachuk 25
Backlund 15
Frolik 10
Jankowski 20
Bennett 15
Ryan 15
Czarnik 15
Mangiapane 10
Other? 10
Gio 15
Brodie 10
Hanifin 10
Hamonic 5
Kulak 5
Stone or Andersson 5
265 total puts us in good territory. Much more than last year, but slightly lower than say VGK.

The problem is almost everyone is having a fantastic season in that model, and we only get to 265.
If Ryan and Czar get a combined 30 goals I would be beyond surprised, and we will almost certainly win our division
That is more goals then the entire 3rd and 4th lines scored last season when playing on those lines !
Brodie and Hamonic 15 goals ? Again we probably are looking at 10. Kulak? Prob 2.
Frolik is the only guy you are would think “He can probably do better”
And again, it only get us to 265!
We really need one more big scorer / pure goal scorer I believe
