1st line point projections?

Providing that our top line will consist of our three Swedes remains constant for the whole year AND they remain relatively healthy (no less than 70 games played each), what would you expect their point production to be?  Here is my guess:

 

Daniel = 29g 35a = 64pts

Henrik = 15g  50a = 65pts

Loui = 33g 37a = 70pts

LOL yea I had thought the same, OP is actually bang on in terms of what I was thinking.

 

Loui should be good for at least 30, Hank and Dan if they stay healthy should keep the same pace they were at last year. Of note is that Hank played the majority of last year dealing with numerous injuries, hopefully with all 3 healthy, and a tougher D core to back them up we may even see a slight uptick!

Daniel Sedin 30 g 40 a 70 pts
Henrik Sedin 13 g 55 a 68 pts
Loui Eriksson 28 g 35 a 63 pts

I'd love to see Daniel hit the 30g plateau but I think that's wishful thinking. I'm predicting more:

 

Daniel - 26g 42a 68p

Henrik - 15g 51a 66p

Loui - 29g 34a 63p

 

I'd be very happy with that production from our top line, assuming they play together. I REALLY hope WD actually throws different looks at different teams (Hansen) or even mixes it up during a game. Secondary scoring is by far my biggest concern this coming season.

Well he got 28 goals last season with Hansen on the line and with Henrik injured for a chunk of the season, so In my opinion i can definetly see him hitting 30 with a healthy Hank and a winger they've had chemistry with in the past

Reasonable assessment I suppose. I'm hoping last year was a indicator of getting his confidence in his shot back, and not an anomaly. After his last 30 goal season his GPG dropped to ~.25/ for 3 years. Cheers to your optimism though, I'll be rooting hard for him.

Just slightly more optimistic than the OP...


Daniel = 31g 37a = 68pts

Henrik = 16g  54a = 70pts

Loui = 39g 33a = 72pts

I feel Eriksson will have another career year, and be the beneficiary being able to play with more intuitive players like the Sedins.  In turn, I believe the point totals of the Sedins will be slightly higher, due to their ability to finally play with a winger who possesses a higher talent level.

Oh, that's already out there.

 

And that's a bit more than overly optimistic to suggest 100 points for the Sedins. Hell, it's overly optimistic to suggest it for anyone not named Kane or Crosby!

 

That said, I think the OP's guess is a little underwhelming. I'd likely put them just over Eriksson for point totals as well, as they may find time playing without him. For instance, Hansen will likely get looks on their line to switch it up, and maybe even Rodin or Virtanen in short stints for specific situations

I predict Daniel will get injured 5 games in and Baertschi will have to take over the first line role, he will flounder and Benning will give up our 1st round pick for E. Kane, who comes in at the 15 game mark. Once in this role Kane flourishes, scoring a team high 28 goals, just 2 more than Loui who scores 26. Hank will only get 11 goals but will finish the season with 58 assists.

1st line point production depends considerably on whether or not JB can acquire some secondary scoring. 

If he can land a 20g/50pt guy,  the 1st line will have some shifts where they won't be facing the premier shut down lines and will get way more opportunities because of it.

 

If no secondary scoring arrives - teams will just shut down the twins line all night and it'll be over. 

 

We can't rely only on scoring improvement from within combined with adding Loui,  JB knows this and it's why he's seeking that extra scoring/size/grit piece.   If he gets it,  I believe both the twins and Loui could not only match,  but just slightly improve each of their totals from last season.
