Guentzel points only next season

[Rodgort]

Erm?

He hasn't had injury problems at any point in his career. He missed like 3 games with a concussion on a super dirty hit. 10 would be a stretch, let alone 25.

I've noticed for the playoffs and at the end of the season teams were targeting him to hit in an attempt to disrupt the line. I can see it continuing next year, and something is in the Pittsburgh water I swear.
Not to mention last information I can find list him as 180 lbs, that seems pretty slender to me, and if he stays that light he is bound to get hurt. I just have a gut feeling he will get hurt. It is fine if you do not think so

I think it's easier to do that type of thing in the playoffs than it is in the regular season.

Plus, that's what Hornqvist would be there to dissuade, which hurts Sheary - less so Guentzel.

I think you're playing with fire if you predict anything above 60pts for him this year. If you expect/draft him with that - then everything else is gravy. If he ends up with 52-56pts, that's an acceptable disappointment based on expectations. Lessons should have been learned with Ghost last year

I'm also fine that we disagree on his likelihood of injury. Everyone sees different stuff, good to have different perspectives

Agree with this. Maybe everyone stays healthy and he turns into a star next season. I think a fully healthy 40 point season is unlikely. But 50 points could happen, and would be a disappointment, but still good. 60 I think is about right, and counting on any more will be overpaying.
