Marchessault in LV

[The Hitchhiker]

What are your expectations for him next year in LV?

[Bstbullies]

I'd give him 40pt floor to 55pt ceiling, 18-25 goals.

[Pengwin7]

30-40pts.
I actually think he got really, really fortunate to get that Huberdeau-injury replacement time.
That early season March-Barkov-Jagr line was overly dynamic and March got a lot more minutes with Hubs down than he would in a standard healthy team situation.

I'd be more inclined to focus on his Feb-Apr 2017 calendar numbers when he averaged 15min/gp:
Feb 11gp, 5pts
Mar 15gp, 12pts
Apr 5gp, 2pts
----
31gp, 19pts = 50pt pace.
From there, I tend to look at his inflated 18.5 post all-star SH% and say "too high, not sustainable".
And then I think towards his teammates, maybe he gets a top wing spot, but if not Ship, I don't see a Barkov or Troch level playmaker to pad his numbers.
40pts is a reach, I think. I'll be surprised if he does that. Puck also has to move forward from the Vegas blueliners, who aren't that talented offensively.

I expect a Vegas O/U at around 34.5pts

I think he'll be a product of the old "someone's gotta score" mentality. But since it's LV.....it won't be that much

45-50 points.

I see Marchessault as a one-hit wonder... last year all the stars aligned and he got the right mix of injuries, linemates and opportunity and made it count.

I do not think that he will have as good of linemates or get the same opportunity in Vegas... I am guessing a large decline in production in comparison to last year.

Agree with this.
I wouldn't expect much progression in his numbers, but he'll get opportunities to score.

Actually, Marchessault wasn't a good fit with Barkov and Jagr as those two seemed to struggle a lot while Marchessault just continued producing. I can't really explain why Marchessault was so good last season, so that's why I can't even guess how he'll do next season. But I also think Vegas will trade him to a contender because that's such great value contract.

[StuntMan12]

On Vegas he should be given a lot of opportunity to succeed. Here is what I got for him

GP/G/A/PTS/FLOOR-CEILING
Jonathan Marchessault (VGK) 70 23 24 47 30/60

[CHunter]

35-40 points

Say 20g 20a

[ChuckLemieux]

I have him at 19g 25a for 44pts. Will get good TOI in a poor LV team but I don't think he can repeat his 30 goals season in the future.

[ericdaoust]

I think he'll be around 40 points.

[Sulla]

I think he gets closer to 50... primarily as he will get all the prime offensive minutes imo

[FinnishFlash]

25-25 is what I'm expecting

[The Bottlenecker]

35-40 points

Say 20g 20a

I've got him in this range too.

I'm strongly on board with this logic and prediction. He's someone that's situationally productive, and that will not add up to good results on an expansion team.
