  Below is a list of 18 different groups of players who collected
or expected to have collected, assuming an average year, similar number of 
points last year (as the numbers would indicate), taken into account 
the number of games played, injuries, etc. Examples, who knows where Lindros
would finish, had he played? With the kind of hype that he generated
over the last a couple seasons, it's probably reasonable to expect
him to score somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 points. In the
cases such as Kamensky, he just did not play enough games, but had he done
so, he was estimated to have been a 70-80 point getter. The choice
is competely subjective and arbitrary. No one really knows!

Please indicate your choices, one from each group who is gonna get
the most number of points in the upcoming season. It'd be interesting
to see what all of you out there would come up with...
