Crazy Potentials!

So I was crazy bored the other day so I was looking at tsn.ca's stats on players. TSN does something pretty cool no other sports website does for the NHL. TSN gives you the stats that the particular player is on pace for. For example, Ales Hemsky is on pace for 20 goals and 86 points. Not to shabby. So I was thinking to myself, there must be some players who have some crazy good potential stats right now, and some who don't. So here is a small list of some crazy potential stats for you.
Shea Weber (D) current: 10 goals 11assists, on pace for: 40goals and 44assists!
Evgeni Malkin (C) current: 7goals 24assists, on pace for: 28goals and 98assists! that's 127points!
no goalie is on pace for over 43 wins!
Patrick Kane is on pace for 107 points! That's a major upgrade from his 72 points last year!
Thomas Vanek, Patrick Sharp, Jeff Carter, Alex Semin, and Zach Parise are all on pace to break 50 goals! Talk about a turnover! All of those players are brand new to the 50 goal mark!
Derek Brassard is on pace to take the rookie race by force with 34 goals and 85 points!
Teemu Selanne is on pace to score 33 powerplay goals!
As Simon Gagne is on pace to score 18 shorthanded goals!
Here are a few good Oiler potentials:
Sheldon Souray is on pace for 29 goals and 63 points! That's one point less then his career best 64 just two seasons ago.
Lubomir Visnovsky is on pace for 49 points.
Tom Gilbert is on pace for a career best 45 points.
And the bad ones:
Sam Gagner is on pace for a lowly 4 goals and 21 points, that's wayyyy down from his 49 points last year.
Shawn Horcoff is just barely on pace for 20 goals and 45 points.
Erik Cole is on pace for a horrible 12 goals and 28 points.
Now for the NHL bad potentials:
Alex Ovechkin is on pace for only 35 goals! That's almost half of what he had last year!
Ilya Kovalchuk is on pace for a career low 73 points!
Martin St Louis is only on pace for 17 goals!
True enough these are just mathematical predictions, but its always fun!
