By Bob Trask – Just a quick update during the holiday season, before we put a cross on 2022!

With over 40% of the season completed and a New Year just around the corner, the projected production of each player over a full season provides us with a glimpse of what kind of offensive talent the team has on its hands. These projections are based on production achieved so far this season and a very rough estimate on the number of games each player will suit up for for the duration of the year. These aren’t predictions but just simple mathematical projections that can change dramatically if a players has a hot streak or suddenly goes cold – or is traded.
