Who’s your Rocket Richard trophy winner for the upcoming 56 games season?

haha trocheck definitely wont win the rocket and unlikely he'll finish the season at point per game.

just gotta hope the regression monster lets trocheck trade goals for primary assists instead of no points entirely. *fingers crossed*

My pick: Taylor Hall....with all those Eichel apples....

Who’s your pick?

I really like my prediction....man do Buffalo s**k......🙄

No, I meant isn't going to. The numbers man, they don't lie.

I think he'll slow down but I'm not sure that's how it works over an even smaller sample than the usual 82 games. Regression to the mean happens but there's no rule about how long it takes to get there. Also the heat chart for him this year is pretty hilarious....the man is literally scoring from the crease most of the time. In the previous few years, he'd been shooting from all over the offensive zone. This year he's at the hash marks or closer almost every time, often literally at the goalie's door. Could be it's just a role he excels at and wasn't doing it in Florida.

Decent winner by Matthews.

Showing why he's always a threat for this. Would honestly not surprise me if the award name got changed at some point in the future.
