going_top_shelf 6 Report post Posted October 21, 2008 I was doing the math the other day and I discovered that if Johan Franzen scores with the same consistency as he did during last year's series against Colorado, he'll score somewhere around 160 goals. Now obviously this a little too much to expect from the guy but I think that now he's found his footing and his confidence, he has the potential to be one of the best players the Wings have seen in a long, long while. Your thoughts????????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stormboy 47 Report post Posted October 21, 2008 franzen will maintain no where near that pace. you could argue if he'll be come a 30 or 40 goal scorer. he's "on pace" to score almost fifty right now. he got almost thirty last year basically in half a season. i think is' possible that he could get around forty one of these years. but i honestly don't think that he'll become dominant on such a high level. i'll be really, really surprised if he ever scores as many goals as zetterberg in a season. but, just my opinion.

T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted October 21, 2008 I have him pencilled in around 160-170 goals this year Dude, there is no way he can maintain that pace throught an 82 game season. I've got him around 135-145. Johan Franzen, that is...professionally known as The Mule, whom The President of the Untied States refers to as Sir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dawgs 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2008 Franzen has the tools to be a 40 goal man. Good skater and puckhandler, tricky moves with the puck, great size, good shot. Id say hes a sure 30 goal a season guy and his ceiling is nearing 50. It wouldnt surprise me a bit to see him score more goals than Zetterberg, although his point total will never reach Z's level.

Guest LivingtheDream Report post Posted October 21, 2008 This might sound dumb, but in some ways I worry he will be too good and as result we can't keep him and Hank! Darn cap always gets in the way of enjoying the game! Nonetheless I hope he gets as many goals as possible. You have to admit he was key in getting us the Cup! Great player. Gotta love the guy. Speaking about being on pace for this or that, how about Homer for 40! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted October 21, 2008 It's great to see him continuing his torrid pace, but hopefully he'll stay humble and remember what team gave him the chance to prove himself in the NHL come free agent time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's shown he is a consistent goal-scoring threat, surprisingly one of the most consistent in the league it seems. I think he's definitely become a 50 goal scorer, but we'll see at the end of the year. A lot hinges on a long playoff run, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
