so coming to camp at 207 is likely a +12 for sure.
His work ethic is the interesting element in projecting the guy. Advanced stats and shooting percentage suggest a step back, but its hard to imagine him letting that happen.

Thing is, he scored at an unreasonable clip over his first 10 games (6 goals I believe, not sure how many assists) and then seemed to take a step back, while slowly improving right into April where he seemed to be playing the best hockey all season.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him improve, but put up similar numbers this year. A lot of it was luck and bounces, so that is going to go down, but an improvement in play could easily make up for that.
A 35-40 point season seems totally reasonable to me.
