Darth Kane Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 The Hockey News has released their annual hockey pool guide and I always find their predictions interested (even if they are seldom accurate). Henrik - 85 points Daniel - 82 points Burrows - 58 points Kesler - 51 points Edler - 48 points Booth - 42 points Bieksa - 37 points Higgins - 37 points Garrison - 36 points Hansen - 34 points Raymond - 30 points Hamhuis - 29 points Kassian - 25 points Malhotra- 22 points Lapierre - 20 points Ballard - 20 points Tanev 13 points Schneider - 38 wins, 2.15 GAA, .929 SP, 7 SO Luongo -33 wins, 2.55 GAA, .920 SP, 4 SO (assuming he's traded at some point) Your thoughts?

LuongoG1 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Can't trade Luongo if you get 71 wins out of keeping both! EDIT: Damnit, beat me to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 if we get 71 wins next year lets just hope CDC would finally be at peace (if that is possible?!?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossram Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Higgins, Booth, Raymond and Hansen will score more than that for sure. I think they overrated Garrison, I'm really only hoping for about 25 points as long as he plays solid defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Each goalie is capable of 30+ wins. I know it most likely won't happen, but I say we keep them for at least one more season and trade guys like Raymond and Malhotra (maybe Ballard too) to free up cap space. Here is what I predict stats wise Daniel: 82 games, 39 goals, 60 assists, 99 points Henrik: 82 games, 20 goals, 75 assists, 95 points Burrows: 82 games, 32 goals, 33 assists, 65 points Booth: 80 games, 26 goals, 26 assists, 52 points Kesler: 56 games, 19 goals, 17 assists, 36 points Kassian: 82 games, 15 goals, 25 assists, 40 points (if Zack gets top 6 minutes) Higgins: 76 games, 16 goals, 14 assists, 30 points Malhotra: 41 games, 10 goals, 11 assists, 21 points Schroeder: 41 games, 11 goals, 15 assists, 26 points Hansen: 75 games, 15 goals, 15 assists, 30 points Volpatti: 30 games, 2 goals, 1 assist, 3 points Lapierre: 82 games, 7 goals, 8 assists, 15 points Weise: 25 games, 5 goals, 3 assists, 8 points Hamhuis: 82 games, 6 goals, 31 assists, 37 points Bieksa: 79 games, 7 goals, 27 assists, 34 points Edler: 77 games, 13 goals, 37 assists, 50 points Garrison: 82 games, 12 goals, 25 assists, 37 points Ballard: 59 games, 4 goals, 16 assists, 20 points Tanev: 82 games, 2 goals, 20 assists, 22 points Schneider: 54 games, 2.11 GAA, .931 SV% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshinefe Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Did you guys not read the OP? He clearly states "assuming Luongo gets traded"--meaning he'd be the starter on some other team and get 30+ wins. It obviously wasn't meant that the Canucks would get 70+ wins. Anyway, I'm really hoping the Sedins can top 100pts again so I'm not a huge fan of these predictions. And man, do they ever have Schneider owning stats-wise. I really hope he can put up those numbers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler's Mind Tricks Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Just to get a rough reference frame... Canucks players had 667 points last year.. 642 from the top 20 point scorers. The Penguins led the league with 722 points from their top 20. We had 681 points from our top 20 2 years ago. Anyone who predicts more then 680 points in the 20 scorers they list is very, very optimistic. Anyone who predicts over 700 needs to take off their blue and green glasses. Anyone who predicts more then 720... Just keep it to yourself. Mr. Mullet, you are predicting that we have a better offensive season then two years ago when we led the league... You are predicting that we will have 720 points coming from our top 19 (the 20th scorer on top teams seems to get 5-6 points) and that our top 20 will outscore last year's penguins... I don't think that that is realistic. Shave off maybe 60-80 points and you might get closer to reality. THN predicts 669 points from our top 17 which works out to maybe 688 points for the top 20 (last year our 18-20 players produced 19 points and the year before that it was 17 points). THN is a bit too optimistic, but only slightly outrageously so. I ususally post a huge points projections thread at the start of every year, and I will wait until early september (when hopefully Doan and MG will have made their moves) to make my own prognostications. Just try to keep your numbers in check by adding up the point totals in your predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Why would he predict how many wins Lu would get if he's on a different team? Especially if that team is unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST09 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Top 9 fws for next year. Sedins- 81 pts each Doan- 64 pts (12 pp goals all from henrik on cross crease one-timers... lets sign him to a 4yr-30mil if thats what it takes. Lets face it, we need to win in the next two-three years before the Oilers grow up. He's a priceless edition to our team. plz MG!) Burrows- 59 pts Booth- 45 pts Higgins- 41pts Arnott- 39 pts Kesler- 35 pts Kassian- 30pts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren5556 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Man if we get 71 wins and STILL don;t win a cup i'm calling BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Naslund Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 ALl I'm going to predict is that if the Sedins don't get injured they'll put up 90 points for sure. 87 minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
