I am predicting Juraj Slafkovsky to continue his second-half breakout from last year and to put up 31 Goals 42 Assists for 73 points for the 2023-2024 regular season! What do Habs fans think? Fair?

Not impossible, but I’m thinking the 30-goal mark will be tough to hit. I’d consider 65 points a pretty darned good season. (He’s still pretty young, gotta budget for some dry spells.)

I second this prediction…Slaf, Suzuki, Caulfield, Dach, Newhook, Roy will all improve their point totals from last year.

I’m slapping the over

25 goals … And I would assume Cole will have a better season scoring goals – so I would consider boosting his assist totals
25g 50a for 75 pts !!
(Nick Suzuki will be just over a pt p game)

That would be awesome! Would basically make him worth his cap hit from the first year of the new contract.

60-70 points is optimistic.
matthewdonut
A 25 goal / 60 point season would be solid
bcoco120
41 points 20 goals in 67 games because of course he’s gonna get hurt.

60-70 points and I would be very, very happy.
Anything beyond is gravy.

the 30 goal will be heavily dependent on how much he focus on his shot this off season but my totally unbiased expectations are for Slaf to hit 70 point this season. if he continue on the Rantanen curve of development then it will be closer to 80 points. but yeah, somewhere around 65-75 points I think is a fair expectation after what he showed us without counting possible dry spells

I absolutely agree that he will start off right where he left off. However, I’m thinking he’ll be a 40-40 guy as will Cole and Nick too. Nick only needs 7 more goals to hit 40, Cole needs 12, and Slaf needs 20. Although 20 seems like a big increase from last years totals he did go from 4 goals to 20. That’s an increase of 16 in 1 year so I dont think 20 is a big stretch.

Assuming he plays 80 games, I would be expecting 26 goals, 31 assists = 57 points. Anything above that would be a bonus!

Way too much expectations. I would say if he does get between 50-60 points that will be excellent!!

This is certainly doable and I understand how you got to those numbers. Just keep in mind, skill progression isn’t linear. You’ll often see a regression while implementing new learnings. So it may be hard to maintain the place he was on at the end of year. Absolutely doable though.
I think anything above 25 goals and 40ish assists is a good year.

I think it’s entirely reasonable, and honestly I believe he could be capable of surpassing that.
He scored 35 points in his last 41 games. Even if he’s only playing as well as he was to end the season, with no improvement beyond that, then 70 points is a realistic marker.
If he improves by any measure, and the team around him doesn’t get all injured again forcing too much responsibility on his line, he could we’ll pass that.
