wjag Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Watching the lines come together in preseason and looking at all the new talent, I speculate the Sabres could have 5 20 goal scorers. What do you think? For the record, I say yes to O'Reilly, Ennis, Moulson, Eichel and Kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I would be tempted to pick those same 5 guys to score 20 this year. And I don't think anyone else on the team has an especially good chance of it. One 20 goal man last year to a potential 5 this year is a pretty exciting change.

WildCard Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 NS, voting for < 20 goals for Eichel eh? Traitor!!! :nana: Honestly I voted for all of them getting 20+ besides Reinhart. They all have the chance to do it, and have shown they can (Zemgus would've last year IMO). Do I think they all will? Probably not, just because having that many 20+ goal scorers on your team means you're pretty much contending with Tampa Bay, but I still think each of those guys has a very realistic shot at hitting that benchmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's something Reinhart is certainly capable of in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Five 20-goal scores would be really surprising, like, top-4 in the NHL surprising. I don't think the team is that good this year. League-wide there were 92 20-goal scorers, or 3 per team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I went with four: Kane, Ennis, Eichel, Moulson. I was tempted to fit O'Reilly in there, but I think he's going to be more of a puck-distributor than goal-scorer on that line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'm putting in a write-in ballot for Larsson and/or McGinn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJFIVEOH Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I think there's going to be two big surprises on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
