Nikita Kucherov 125

Brayden Point 98

Jake Guentzel 92

Brandon Hagel 82

Victor Hedman 65

Oliver bjorkstrand 60

Anthony cirelli 55

Gage Goncalves 46

Nick Paul 43

Connor Geekie 40

Yanni Gourde 35

Darren Raddysh 33

Ryan McDonagh 29

I would put Raddysh a bit higher, and Lilly a bit lower but honestly I agree with pretty much everything else on your list. Maybe a bit optimistic for a couple players like point and Guentzal, but neither prediction is ridiculous or unrealistic, and i can totally see both happening. I always felt that Point had the potential to hit 100 points if had a good year and stays healthy. I think the real dark horse this season is Cirelli. If its true he had a ton of improvement in his game due to working with kuch in the offseason, i can see additional improvement again this year if he works with Kuch again.

Hot take, guentzel breaks 100 points this year.

Second hot take. Hagel outscores Point.
