Jeff Skinner 3 goals in 18 games, needs 27 goals in 64 games
Victor Arvidsson 2 goals in 16 games, needs 28 goals in 64 games (36 goal pace)
RNH 1 goal in 18 games , needs 29 goals in 64 games (37 goal pace)
Kane 0 goals in 0 games, needs 30 goals in 64 games (38 goal pace)


Hyman- to be fair, has exceed 35 goals last 2 years-

Skinner - ok still doing fine. has exceed 35 goals 3 times, last 3 years ago
Arvidsson- career high is 34 7 years ago
Nuge- one 37 goal season in his 14 year career
Kane- has scored exactly 30 twice in his 15 year career- last 5 years ago (*yes he's injured but that is factored in in the original article, figures he only needs 50-60 games to hit 30)


Maybe breaking the NHL record for 30 goal scorers won't happen this season? stay tuned.


8 goals in 70 games for the sure fire bottom 5 doesn't scream likely
It does seem as though a couple key factors have been overlooked.

1. They're old.

2. On their old teams, they got big minutes. On the Oilers those minutes belong to...you know who.
