Forwards
Mathew Barzal: 42 points (17 goals, 25 assists) – 49 games
Pace: 70 points (28 goals, 42 assists)
This would be a career-high in goals for Mat Barzal, previous high was 22, a step up from his 62 point season last year. While 70 points is a nice step, it feels like that isn’t his ceiling as a player.
Brock Nelson: 38 points (20 goals, 18 assists) – 49 games
Pace: 64 points (33 goals, 31 assists)
Brock Nelson would pick up a career-high in goals and points on this pace. In year one of a new deal we couldn’t have asked for a better Brock than what we are getting right now.
Josh Bailey: 30 points (11 goals, 19 assists) – 49 games
Pace: 50 points (18 goals, 32 assists)
Josh Bailey has taken a slight step back, and you’d ideally like that number in the higher 50’s but at a $5 million cap hit it’s hard to complain about that kind of production.
Anders Lee: 29 points (16 goals, 13 assists) – 49 games
Pace: 49 points (27 goals, 22 assists)
You’d like to see those goals and point total increase by year’s end. Ideally, you want the goals to be over 30 and the points to be over 50.
Anthony Beauvillier: 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) – 49 games
Pace: 49 points (22 goals, 27 assists)
Beau’s been a little bit more consistent this year and if we can get 45-50 points from him I think you have to be happy if you’re the Islanders.
Derrick Brassard: 24 points (8 goals, 16 assists) – 49 games
Pace: 40 points (13 goals, 27 assists)
Derrick Brassard started off hot and then has been ice cold. If he can give you 40 points as the 3C you take it.
Jordan Eberle: 24 points (7 goals, 17 assists) – 39 games
Pace: 44 points (13 goals, 31 assists)
Eberle has to get that goal count up in the second half. 45-50 points should be the goal with at least 20 goals.
