projections on these injured guys...

[mario_magic66]

Just wondering what some of your point projections or i guess opions on what pace these guys will score at when they return:

Huselius
Ponikarovsky
Lupul
Okposo

Also, opinions on dropping Ennis for any of them. Points only league

Eww @ Ponikarovsky. Okposo, Lupul, and Huselius should all put up decent numbers though. Lupul will have the most points per game upon return I think.

I think out of the bunch Okposo may actually have the most point production. Unsure though its dependent on some things. Definitely between Okposo and Lupul though...
Okposo's return could spark JT to go off. Having a legitimate linemate can do wonders for a potential superstar, just as having illegitimate linemates can absolutely demo your production (just ask Phil Kessel).
Poni = garbage
Huselius - meh

Where do you think Lupul is going to settle on the depth chart??

[MT319]

He'll get a shot to play in the top 6 but he's got to take Blake's spot and blake Koivu Selanne has worked well with eachother all season to where he'll likely settle on to the third line unit for the majority of games

[bondon]

Best case scenario is Lupul takes Ryan's place on the top line with Getz + Perry to even out their offensive distribution, worst case scenario is he gets relegated the task of being 3rd line checker with some PP time. I kind of find it hard to believe that Carlisle would feel comfortable with Jason Blake being on a checking line so I think the latter is the more likely scenario. Lupul is just much more of a physical presence that fits the 3rd line responsibility so much better. expect him to play a role on the PP similar to big buff in last years playoffs though, big body in front of the net
