Avalanche goal scoring leaders 2009/2010

Because I've been so bored of the hockey news lately, I thought I would take a stab at the Avalanche scoring leaders for next year. First I had to make a guess on who would be on the team. Next, I looked at previous years stats for all players that have played in the NHL and tried to make a guess on what that player would be capable of next year. It was much more difficult to guess on the potential rookies so I tried to be conservative. I'm assuming that the team will be more successful under Sacco and that's why I believe there will be some personal improvements. So, this is the best possible scenario in my opinion.

35 stastny
35 hejduk
20 wolski
20 stewart
20 svatos
15 jones
15 mcleod
15 galiardi
12 liles
10 haydar
10 duchene
10 stoa
10 tucker
8 Hensick
8 quincy
5 clark
5 salei
5 preissing
4 hannan
2 foote
2 cumiskey

Total 266

If this were to happen in 2008/2009, we would be 4th in goals for the NHL. However, if we can't keep the pucks out of our own net, it wouldn't help much in the standings. I know that there will be huge disagreements on this so I would be very interested in seeing other complete guesses.
