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

I tried to make it so most had good years, not necessarily career years. Gaudreau has scored 30 before, Monahan was on pace for 45 before injury, Tkachuk just scored 24 with missing 14 games and didn't get on the PP until the second half. Lindholm presumably will play on 1 RW. Jankowski only needs to improve by 3 over his rookie year. Bennett only 4 over last year. Backlund had a bit of a down year and this is on pace with that, Frolik status quo.
On D, not a huge leap either, I don't think. Moderate bounce back from Brodie, which a lot of our season rides on. Pretty much status quo on Hanifin and Gio. Career average roughly for Hamonic.
The big difference is the bottom of our lineup was abysmal last year, and this free agency and off season is all about improving that. So it's taking into account a balanced offense approach and a bump in offense from the bottom 6.
Monahan could easily score 45, whereas Ryan might only score 10.
