I would be surprised if Toffoli did not get 25 goals next year (assuming he is healthy and plays over 90% of the games). He has scored more than 20 goals in the last 3 seasons and has only had one truly bad season in the NHL (18/19). If he gets to 25, I am fine with that in terms of production from a 2nd line RW.
I suspect Mangiapane is a 30 goal guy next year again and so is Lindholm. Hubredeau if he signs should be good for around 30. They need one more scoring top six forward who can pot 20+ and they have pretty good balance from a production standpoint.
Backlund, Dube, Coleman and hopefully Monahan should be good for an average of 15 goals each.
3 guys who average 30 goals
1 guy who is around 25
4 guys who average 15 goals
If they get one more guy who can get 20+ they are fine. That would be a top 9 that gets 195 goals as a floor. If the 4th line and the press box can get a combined 20 goals (last year forwards 10 and below got a combined 24 goals) they would be at 215 from the forwards as a minimum.
The defence had 41 goals last year. The defence that are currently on this roster had 41 goals last year. Seems like 35 is a decent floor for the current backend.
250 goals as a floor is not the juggernaut that last years team was but it is only 43 goals less than last years team.
