Kris Letang , Dustin Byfuglien, OEL, Dougie Hamilton Points only

[Rocky71]

Simple rank them points only (goals =1, assists =1)?

[newfcollins]

Letang when healthy. OEL the rest of the time.

[StuntMan12]

If you have IR spots ...

Letang
Hamilton
OEL
Byfuglien

[LuigiC173]

Letang for the rest will only score mid fifties best, Kris only one who can approach and surpass sixty.

[Belexus75]

injuries aside Letang is your man here, i think OEL can one day hit 60 but it will not be consistant

Nailed it.

If Letang plays 70 games, he's tops. But Hamilton had something like 37 points in his final 47 games, and that was without PP1 time. He's second. OEL and Buff should both be around 50.

If he plays PP1 this year do you think it's quite possible Hamilton hits 60?

Agree w/others

65 Healthy Letang
55 Buff
53 D.Hamilton
52 OEL
45 Letang playing 55-65gp.


Buff is the safe pick here.
Winnipeg is just stocked with goal-scoring talent.
It honestly wouldn't surprise me to see them lead league in scoring.
If they do, there's a lot of token assists there for their defensemen... especially their PP1 D-man.

It's an interesting question. Hamilton's point totals certainly have room to increase with more TOI and top PP time, but the question is will he get those things this season? Unfortunately for Hamilton Gulutzan seems to like TJ Brodie on the #1 PP. Boggles the mind why, with Hamilton and Gio available, but there you have it. I am not holding my breath that things change this season. Time will tell I suppose. If his TOI went up to 21:00-22:00+ and he was on the top PP unit I think a 60 points season would be very possible for Dougie.

I covered Brodie as one of the guys in my piece for the Guide, and I do think the tide turns more in favor of Hamilton this season.

Here's also what I said about Hamilton back in a March Cage Match:

That data further validates Hamilton is doing more with less. He’s also on track for 225+ SOG in 2016-17 despite playing less than 20:00 per game, and that’s literally never happened among rearguards since nhl.com started tracking Ice Time in 1997-98. In fact, we have to raise the Ice Time minimum to 22:00+ per game before we finally get two past hits: Dion Phaneuf in 2005-06 (two seasons before he posted 60 points) and Torey Krug last season (when he tallied 44 points).

Letang then Hamilton. Last year In our league got Hamilton drafted in 7th rd. He was 23rd d picked. This year probably going first 3 round. Probably top 5 d drafted this in our league.
