Sarah Davis: “Here’s a look at some of FanDuel’s goals for the upcoming NHL season. Auston Matthews is the favorite to win the Rocket Trophy again this season. He now scored 69 goals last season. He didn’t make it to 70. Connor McDavid, won the rocket in 2023 after scoring 64 goals, finished with the most goals last season, with 32 and Patrik Laine with a total of 30 goals and a half of his own. first season in Montreal.

Can Sidney Crosby Have Another 40-Goal Campaign?

Back with Marty Biron. Now to get the inside scoop on the upcoming NHL season, Marty, we’re going to try something different today. FanDuel does not have over/under lines for these players yet, so we want you to play the role of oddsmaker. You will select one player from each of the seven Canadian teams. He will tell us where the over-under should be placed and how many goals they will score. You are ready.”

Martin Biron: “I’m ready. They use supercomputers and algorithms for all that, so I don’t think I can compete with computers, but I will find, although I’m not half goals, I’m a goal, I like round numbers. , so I’m going to make total scores, and if it’s on that number, we’re going to give everyone their money back in the woods.

NHL Rumors: Where are things between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Nick Robertson?

Davis: “Okay, okay. Let’s go. We will start in the east. We are looking for players who have something to prove. We gave him someone from the Habs, Leafs and Sens and that’s where the goalscoring expectations should be set this year.”

Biron: “I’m going to look at the Montreal Canadiens, Juraj Slafkovsky, and put more under Juraj Slafkovsky’s 29 goals this year. He had 20 last season. It’s been a great season for him, 16 in the last 40 games. So if you double those over 80 games, that would mean 32 goals. I’m still not sure he gets more than 30, which is why I put the number at 29, which would be a great season for Juraj Slakfovsky and the Montreal Canadiens.

For Ottawa Senators Josh Norris, I put the under 25s. Look, this is a guy who, if he’s healthy, can definitely score more than 30 goals. He scored 35 two years ago, but he still had to have shoulder surgery, and 25 would be a healthy number for Josh Norris, so my over-under is set at 25.

Is This A Make Or Break Year For The Ottawa Senators?

And for the Toronto Maple Leafs, let’s look at Matthew Knies, 20 goals this year. To Matthew Knies, I get it. He will play 5-on-5 with Auston Matthews. Last year, he had seven goals with Auston Matthews. Matthews can get a ton. So Matthew Knies is going to get a lot of rebounds if he wants to stay in front of the net. So I’m going to say 20 goals for Matthew Knies in the second year of the Toronto Maple Leafs.”

Davis: “Okay, this sounds good, Marty; I think he plays the oddsmaker thing well.”
