NHL, NHL Northeast, Toronto Maple Leafs, Preview/Prediction

I’ve been looking at a few articles written by my fellow Bleacher Creatures and they have been predicting player stats. Oddly enough I haven’t seen this from any Toronto Maple Leaf writers.

I will only give reasons for players who I think need an explanation.

So here goes.                GP       G        A      PTS      +/-      PIM      GWG

Nik Antorpov               82        23      27      50        3         68          4

Mark Bell                      70       15       13       28      -2         93          0

Jason Blake                  82        19      24      43       -4         24          2

 Mikhail Grabovski     63         6        8       14       -8         10           0

(See Kris Newbury)

Nik Hagman                 81        30      16     46        10        28          7

  1. How depressing. Top player with 50 points? :(

    No wonder you picked them last in the conference!

    1. Yeah, i don't see them doing very well this year

  2. Why no D-men???

    1. Read the title, I'm doing them maybe tomorrow

  3. Good predictions.
    but i think Grabovski will get more then 14 points. i hear he's really offensive.

    1. Thats what you hear, but have you checked out his stats?

    2. yes i have and it seems what ever level he plays at he averages around 0.5 points/game and with your projected GP he would score about 30 points. heres his stats

  4. Geez Tyler, it looks bleak.

    I really can't diagree with you but I would think maybe Steen and Stajan get a few more points than you have them down for.

    1. maybe, but i don't wanna set my sights to high this season.Lol

  5. I still can't get over the fact that the Leafs traded something other then a bag of pucks for Ryan Hollweg...

    1. Ha, yeah he's the bryan McCabe of forwards

  6. I think that Grabovski will do better than 14 points as well. I do think that the Leafs are going to fail miserably, though, but Nik will get maybe 60 points.

  7. Man most of your predictions are off. Newbury will get barely any points, Grabovski barring a full season will get at least 25-30 and Jeremy Williams will play more then 15 games. But I like your effort.

  8. I don't think Hagman puts up 30 ....he had richards to center him. The leafs don't have anything like richards to help him get back to 30.

  9. wow, I can't really agree with the majority of this.. steena dn stajan 33 points each? Think higher

    antropov puts up at least 60 points as the number one center...probably more like 70, but only because he will be on the ice for 25 minutes a game with Sundin gone

    1. No the only reason antropiv put so many last year was because he HAD Sundin on his line, if he gets 60 hell must've froze over

  10. Jeremy Williams, Alex Steen, Matt Stajan, Mikhail Grabovski - they are all off big time

  11. fuck them numbers a super mediocre...I hope you're wrong and atleast one of thses boneheads can step up with an 80 pointer

    1. Hope all you want, it doesn't look good

  12. I did read the title. D-men also make assists and score goals, those are their offensive stats.

    The title should read "...Projected Offensive Player Stats."

    See, whole new ball game. Er, puck game.

    Either way you might be letting your Leafs' negativism get the best of you.

    Looking forward to part 2. Cheers, and good job as always, Tyler.

  13. Steen will put up 40 points, he's done it a couple of times this year.

    As for Grabovski he's still quite young and wasn't given much time to play in Montreal, he'll do a bit better than 14 points I'm sure.

    Nice predictions though.

  14. where's Kulemin????

  15. What data/system/magic 8 ball did you use to determine these numbers ?
