    I'm not going to go through the entire list one by one but I would say the majority of your keepers could definitely put up more points this coming season.

    Overall I think you should do better. I would expect malkin and crosby to have better years but could also see seguin drop a little and also Kucherov could see a slight drop.

    Keepers are:

    Crosby - better (would've said that before Kessel came but now with him? No question)
    Malkin - better (that PP should be filthy... but this time for the entire season)
    Seguin - better (healthier)
    Tarasenko - better (yes I do think he can do even more)
    Pavelski - worse (of course I said that last year about him too so...)
    Kucherov - worse (am thinking all 3 triplets regress just a tad)
    Barkov - better (will probably say that for the next 3 years)
    Wheeler - worse (WPG has gotten deeper and I think he's already peaked)

    Letang - better (can't imagine his health could get any worse)
    Barrie - better (COL scoring should rebound - Barrie should be big part of that)
    Vatanen - better/same (moving Wiz took the one major threat to PP1 away - should continue to be top dog on a killer PP)
    Daley - worse (with Klingberg locked up, believe Daley won't see PP1 time anymore - at least not regularly)
    Gardiner - better (could he be any worse than last year?)

    Quick - better (simply don't think LA will miss the playoffs again meaning more wins)
    Mason - better (think PHI is a slightly better team on D than last year)
    Halak - worse (can't bet on him playing that many games again)
    Mrazek - worse (got a lot of GP due to Howard injury and am not sold that he steals the starter job this year)

    Hanson Bros., Fantrax, 10-Team, Keep 8, weighted scoring
    Black & Blue, Fantrax, 12-Team, Dynasty, H2H weighted
    The Dream Team League, Fantrax, 14-Team, Dynasty, H2H

    It depends on how many more/fewer points a player has to get to be considered worse in your opinion. I get that 66 points is better than 65 points, and is worse than 67 points, but I can't imagine anyone wanting to be that specific in this situation. My thoughts are all relative to the NHL goal scoring staying around the same amount as last year. If G/game suddenly spikes, then, yes, everyone will improve, but relative to the averages, these are my predictions:

    Crosby - better (Kessel)
    Malkin - better (Kessel effect, hopefully a full season of a healthy Hornqvist)
    Seguin - better (health)
    Tarasenko - better (he's now, "the man")
    Pavelski - same
    Kucherov - same
    Barkov - better (heated up a lot towards the end of last season)
    Wheeler - same

    Letang - better or worse (depends on health)
    Barrie - better (MacKinnon and Duchene will both have big bounce-back seasons)
    Vatanen - better (should be closer to 50 points than last season's 37)
    Daley - worse
    Gardiner - same (you need someone to score in order to get assists from the back-end)

    Quick - better (LA will be back to being LA next season)
    Mason - same (watch out for Neuvirth to steal some starts)
    Halak - worse (slight regression for NYI)
    Mrazek - worse (with his contract, it's Howard's job to lose, not Mrazek's to steal)
