Based on my viewings of him, he "should" perform towards the 30 point level give or take a few points, so if he only gets 20, then it would be a slight disappointment, where he would have to show a lot more in the coming year otherwise the possible label of potential bust might starting appearing.
Usually after their 4th year, players that only get 30 points tend to be limited offensively in the NHL, or offensively skilled AHL guys like Ben Street. Guys that are closer to 40 points or more usually can translate into top 6 guys in the NHL (That is if they are near 6', if they're 5'-6", then it's a long shot)
It'll be interesting to see if he becomes another Joe Colborne, or if he can become significantly more than that.

Statistically speaking you have a small school that doesn't traditionally draw top end talent. Statistically speaking the Friars are one of the lower scoring programs in the NCAA. Statistically speaking the Friars haven't had a player score over 30 points since 2007. Statistically speaking the deck is stacked against anyone, including a dominant player like Johnny Gaudreau, scoring 30 points at Providence. I'm not saying its not possible, but the style the team plays does not really allow for a player to light it up.
