Also Phion, Hong and Mik are probably the only two who would misunderstand what you said, need to give the foreigners some lee-way :evil:
No rookie will hit 65pts this year.

Nick wroteCOLONI think you're being excessively conservative in those estimates:

On FLA, I think Hubs is in the ROY race, and 55+ with 25g wouldn't shock me. Gub should be ready for more toi, and they need him too, so something like 8g 19a for 27pts adds up for me. And Doughty is back, slow season past, found his game in the playoffs, I expect that Drew to show up, 12g 45a 57pts.
Placed far too much faith in the rooks in the past, won't happen again. Give them some ice and see where it goes.

50ish is a recent trent, but 100, 80, 70, 60 have all happened in recent history as well. If i were to pay the asking for some of these rookies, you better believe it's because i think they can break 60.

I'd be shocked if Yak got less than 60. Really high skill rookie class this year. Hub, Bart, Yak, Granlund, Tarasenko all have the potential to hit 60+. Not saying any will, but wouldn't surprise me if they did.

Last rookies to net in 100+ pts were Crosby and Ovie right? (need to confirm this)

Yakupov shouldn't have any problems getting at least 60 is also my thought... despite being a young core of guys and might have issues with chemistry/ego or whatnot, I think a 50 is a sure bet, and pushing for 60-70+ for Yakupov when healthy is my guess.

ye Sid and Ovi both broke 100
than Malkin was in the 80s
Kane in the 70s
Ryan in the 50s
Duchene in the 50s
Skinner in the 60s
Landy in the 50s (although RNH woulda been close to 70s in 20 more GP)


one year pre-lockout Ryder had 60 FWIW

I don't think Yak is breaking 65, but I do think it's happening this year.
