How good can Barzal be?
Hey guys,
I just recently stumbled across the NHL award article written by Mark Scheifele (https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en...020-nhl-awards)
Which was a fantastic read and at the bottom when discussing Barzal from the eyes of a fellow player he said this "In a few years he’s going to be leading the league in scoring."
I recently acquired Barzal and have been watching him in these playoffs and he really does impress me. I know the isles system is stifling for offense and his last 2 years of actual output have not been elite but let's say things stayed mostly the same situation wise, is it possible Barzal could explode to 90 points regardless? Or is it more likely he's a 75-80 point C until he gets some better wingers and/or trotz leaves (3 more years on contract).
I'm obviously excited by his upside and by Mark's comments but I have been getting some pretty solid offers for him so I'm looking for any further insight into where you see his career heading.
Thanks!

I’d wait it out unless you’re getting mega offers. What have been some of the offers?
12 teams. Keep 9 any position.
7 prospects. D scoring 3.75 for goal, 2.75 for assist. Forwards 3.5 for goal, 2.5 for assist. 0.5 for hits and blocks. Goalie scoring -1.5 GA, 0.3 for save, 2 points for win and extra 2 for shutout.
Pre Draft
F: Keller, Zegras, Suzuki, Caufield, Cozens
D: Drysdale, Guhle, Perunovich

Re: How good can Barzal be?
Barzal is insanely silky, smooth.
It's one of those things that is hard for the common fan to catch because he doesn't do highlight reel stuff.
Which (usually) means he has a super-high-level hockey IQ.
Yeah... he could totally do 90pts.
He WILL need some sort of high-end linemates to do that... and he doesn't quite have them.
He's a "HOLD" for now... or "BUY", if one can get him low.
I peg him for 75pts in 80gp going forward... with one or two touches at 90... and 3-5 career seasons in the 80s.
Leading the league in scoring... hmmm... IF he gets the high-end linemate... but not without.
Re: How good can Barzal be?
That's kind of where I would have him too. Jumping around between 70-95 depending on the year, but the high end won't be possible unless there's some change in the system of the team he's on and better line mates.Originally Posted by Pengwin7

Re: How good can Barzal be?
He could "lead the league in scoring" in the same way the stars aligned a few seasons ago for Jamie Benn to lead the league in scoring. I don't think he could "lead the league in scoring" the same way guys like McDavid and Mackinon could "lead the league in scoring", if that makes sense.

Re: How good can Barzal be?
This is my thoughts exactly. If Trotz were to leave, then maybe he a little more consistent to the high 80s/90s player. But don't take coaching changes into projecting for fantasy.
