For a point only keeper, how would you rank Neal, Tarasenko, and Johansen for this year and long term. Assume for this that Johansen will sign before camp starts.

NOTE: I genuinely think all 3 of them will be within an 8 point range, so it's super close. I could see only 2 or 3 points separating each of them.

I think that when he signs, Johansen will be the focus of the Jackets offence and he has plenty of room to grow. I think that you can expect around 70 points/year (conservative projection) once he reaches full potential. Neal has been a bit undervalued since his move to Nashville but he's still a great sniper and will get plenty of prime minutes. He has enough talent and the Ribeiro signing should help him reach the 60's. I love Tarasenko and he might have the highest upside, but this St.Louis squad is so deep and the system is so implemented that I don't see him develop his full potential. It's close though, I can see an argument for each of these players, but that's how I break it down personally.

I think all three give you a reasonable shot at 30-30. I would rank them;

Johansen
Tarasenko
