He basically was on pace for 40 last year. Also, 35 is reasonable and 40 is lol? The sky is the limit for this player, especially if he can find chemistry with an elite offensive player like we all hope Pettersson will be on the PP. He made what he did this season look easy, so I don't know why he has any limits.
To be fair Boeser’s “pace” was declining strongly from Christmas on. He had 21 goals at Christmas (48 goal pace) and 8 goals after (25 goal pace). In all likelihood the injury kept his pace looking better than it probably would have if he’d actually played the final 20 games. Going into next year the team won’t have the Sedins (so there will be more defensive focus on Boeser) or Vanek (who he played well with at times). 40 is possible though I think unlikely given the personnel changes and fact that he’ll receive more focus in Year 2 than he did early in Year 1. 30-35 would be a very impressive total given the circumstances.
