Nolan Patrick seems like he's being forgotten about a little more as every day goes by. Is this the season where he breaks out and scores between 50-60 points or further falls toward bust territory?
Will Nolan Patrick Have a Breakout Season?

No no, it's either he scores 50-60 points right now, this year, or he will always suck and will eventually devolve into a fungus-person who eats urinal cakes recreationally

I am looking for Couturier-like progression where he eventually becomes a well rounded center. I don't care how many points he gets as long as he is rounding out his game all around.

I think a 40 points in 70-75 games season would be nice progression for 19-20..but ya never know..he could surprise us all.

Define breakout. I don’t think moving down the lineup will all the sudden make him a 25G - 35A - 60P player.
To me, a ‘breakout’ would be Patrick asserting his play more in the Ozone, playing more consistently, and not sticking to the boards.
His previous 2 seasons have averaged 13G - 17.5A - 30.5P. Playing in a suppressed role and accumulating 17/20G - 25/28A - 42-48P is what I would expect. I assume the 42P scenario is more likely given the range I just said... that to me is breaking out.

Yeah, 40-50 points is what I'm hoping for. Points aren't everything, but he can't have another 30 point season. There has to be at least some progress.

Even his numbers dipped to 44 in 73 games after Tavares was signed and his role reduced.
True, but he was able to hit the 50+ mark playing behind Matthews and Bozak - though admittedly, i think the Bozak/Kadri role was pretty fluid, as well as Matthews missing some time, promting Kadri to get more than 3C usage..
People get too caught up in labels, though. Patrick's ability to hit the 50+ point plateau will reside solely on his PP placement and/or if PP2 can finally start showing up to games..

big two way C your projecting to get to 75-90 points but not be a superstar. WHAT. can't see him putting up 60 points playing behind G and Hayes either.

This is exactly why you break out ES scoring from PP scoring.
Patrick might get 20 points on PP1 and only 5-10 on PP2, but he'd be exactly the same player.
40+ ES points with plus defense would be a breakout year for me, that would mean we have a legitimate 2C as our 3C.

Correct, but was officially a 3C when he did it. Not that it ultimately matters -i expect well do the same as toronto and run two second lines as opposed to the traditional third line.
This is why calling out "when's the last time a number-letter did such and such if silly if Toure not using context.
