Fan predictions are always guilty of forgetting just how low individual goal scoring is in the NHL these days, myself included. Crosby sits first in the NHL with 34 goals but even he's only had four in the last 16 games. He's the only one on pace for over 40 but that isn't a guarantee.
30 is a high bench mark nowadays. Could see Bennett getting 25-30, 60+ points.
