How many point will Sven Bae get this season?

[Eddy Punch Clock]

So pretty much the consensus here seems to be that if Sven scores more than thirty points he's a bae and if he fails to get at least 30 points he's a total piece of bae?

 

[holyprime]

He's Swiss though, not Danish. So it's all good.

Trust me, it sounds stupid in swiss german too

Considering his play until now, if he gets 70+ games around 35 points sounds realistic. Maybe over 40 if he's used on the PP or starts to break out.

The comment with the work ethic is especially funny, as it was one of the things he was praised for at the draft and afterwards. It started to emerge as a point for critics only after he and the flames soured on each other.

 

[opendoor]

Yeah, 35+ points is about the minimum production you'd expect from a 23 year old who's on track to become a legitimate top 6 forward if he's getting decent minutes. There just really isn't much precedent for guys producing less than that and eventually succeeding.

So he could easily produce less than that, but if he does it's probably an indication of very long odds of him becoming an effective scorer at the NHL level.

 

[ahmon]

less than Vey.

Baertschi is highly skilled but it has always been the lack of compete that is the problem.

Sounds like a guy we just dumped for negative value minus the physical attributes.

Not only that, but thus far in the NHL, Baertschi has scored at a 35 point pace. So anything less would actually be a regression for him.

Yeah. Baertschi seemed to be on his best behaviour post trade, hopefully he can keep that up.

 

[bossram]

I'm gonna say ~30 points. Which is top-end 3rd line production.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

My guess is 10-19 while being a healthy scratch for half the season.

So his PPG will be decent but his game won't be complete or consistent enough for Willie to be confident in him as an everyday player.

sounds right to me.

then after two more frustrating seasons where everytime it looks like he's something he gets benched for brandon prust, or mackenze stewart, or guillaume desbiens, he'll get traded for zac rinaldo.

Please, for the love of GOD, stop calling him "Bae"

I lol'd

30 points id be satisfied with

 

[denkiteki]

Starts slow, team trades away a Higgins/Vrb (or both) and moves up to the top 6 then starts scoring @ a > .75ppg pace. Ends the season with about 50 points.

 

[Verviticus]

i dont really know how anyone could come up with a number here. might as well roll a die

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

47.

To match his number.

Which he will probably change this year.

Lol, and lol.

He won't touch 47 points this year, and 47 is his number. Is that number too unique for you? You want him to wear 17, don't you?

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

How dare you speak bad of the Canucks! I ban you, sir!

 

[NoRaise4Brackett]

Linden Vey-like season, minus the early-season 1st unit PP time. Struggles at times, gets healthy scratched in favour of Vey/Kenins/Grenier/Virtanen. I imagine him being treated like a rookie. Even if he sees regular 2nd unit PP time, 1/2 the time they don't have long enough to even set up in the o-zone. Sven will have a short leash on 2nd line with Higgins around, so he will likely see a healthy dose of Prust/Dorsett/Vey.

20-29 is my guess.

 

[biturbo19]

Was tongue in cheek. If he hit 47pts that'd be incredible. Not a realistic expectation, but i'd also say it's not 100% impossible either if it really "clicks" for him finally.

And no, i don't have a real issue with his number per se...or if he goes with 42 - i'd be okay with that many points also . Whatever he wants. Those are more "prospect numbers" though, McCann was even wearing 47 at the dev camp, was he not? Considering Baertschi is pretty much a lock for the team due to waivers, i'd probably expect a lower number this season. I'm gonna say he takes Matthias' old #27. But maybe he likes that higher "prospect number" and wants to stick with that. Fine by me if he does...just seems weird is all.


27pts would be fairly disappointing, but possibly more realistic...depending on what kind of opportunity he gets and how committed he is to playing more in the dirty areas consistently. Maybe he shouldn't wear that number.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I missed that LOL sorry.

I rank on the liberal side of the traditionalist side of hockey. The more weird numbers the better, except 69, which is stupid.

 

[Wisp]

just did. bae will get 6 points.

edit: this seems like a low number range, so I flipped a loonie. Bae will get Queen Elizabeth points.

 

[PetterssonSimp]

15-15 season. Bounces between being Bonino and Horvat's LW on the 2/3 lines.

 

[Orca Smash]

Who did he play with in Calgary?

As a Canuck, he didn't look that good.... only against Edmonton AHL

Huh? He didnt do much of anything in his first game vs jets but scored two goals in that meaningless oilers game.

In the ahl he was our best forward throughout playoffs...

 

[Rey]

100 pts or bust

 

[Bougieman]

'50+ points' currently has more votes than 'fails to stick in the NHL'. Surely you guys must find that as laughable as I do. One is certainly more likely than the other. I thought people took these polls at least somewhat seriously.

Benning isn't waiving a guy he just spent a 2nd on, so I'd say 50+ points is probably just as likely as him not sticking on the roster for next season.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I say 45-50 points would be a very successful season. 35 or so being what I expect him to get.
