Seem to be setting your hopes FAR too high.
Yegor has gotten to new highs via a higher shooting% and power play opportunities that he didn't have elsewhere.

Nobody cares. Go away.

Since the calendar turned, Hubby is on a 70 point pace.
I just don’t think Kuz plays a good enough all around game to get that type of premium ice time required to get to 80 points.

Of course it’s hard, nobody said it was easy. I said I’d love to see if he could hit that, and I just don’t really see any value in writing off the possibility. As it stands now in his limited time with the Flames and the issues I already pointed out (figuring out his place in the lineup, dealing with health issues) he’s already producing at a rate higher than the 25/50 you’re hoping he’ll get to, so I’m comfortable calling your view pessimistic and mine optimistic, with the most likely result being him falling somewhere in the middle (if he’s healthy and maintains his role in the top 6).
