I think Tkachuk and Lindholm will be much closer to 30 as they have been. I think Chucky is a good bet to hit 30 given his contract year and determination to bounce back.
But yeah, after those five, Monahan and Backlund, I see a lot of guys contributing single digits to that team total.
No one on defence looks poised to hit 10+. Kylington or Andersson taking a step offensively becomes even more crucial.
Teams find ways to put up the totals they need though. Even Seattle has already gotten scoring from a team full of former depth producers.
