Re: Expectations on Hischier, Patrick, Keller, Puljujarvi
Patrick - 35. Like Emu said, Toews-light and given the evidence, you may have to assume some injury-time + his usage isn't clear IMO.
Hischier - 45. He'll get minutes and he'll get them with Hall/Palmieri/Johanssen/Zacha. But the defense still sucks and zone entry is going be difficult. Young kids, regardless of draft position, often take time to play well in their own zone. Given that Hall only scored 53 last year, it's hard to be bullish on 50+ from Hischier.
Keller - 50. The guy has a great opportunity. Again, the question mark is usage - winger or center? I think 50 would be awesome for him and quite doable.
Pool - agree with Emu. He's not dominating - he's crazy talented but he may become a Jussi Jokinen (which isn't too shabby). The Jokinen signing was shrewd of the Oilers - that may be what Pool becomes.
