Personally I find it more likely that he scores 30+ points again than him not doing it. - at least once during this contract.
Yeah he's a 3/4 line player and he's very physical, but I think there is some slight silliness that goes through some people's mind that equates his style of play to a lack of offensive ability. Bouma is actually a pretty good offensive player. Saying he won't get over 30 points over the next 3 years actually boggles my mind. His defence I guess can overshadow his offensive capability but from watching last season, he's got great hands, a good shot and great hockey iq. He will also next season or the one after be playing with better players because our depth will be that much better.
I'll predict that next season he gets 34 points.
