Ferland has also scored 1 goal in his last 7 games. He can get hot like any player, but he's never shown that level of play consistently over a couple of seasons in the NHL.
Do you really think he's a 38 goal player? Is he more likely to consistently put up 20 goals every year, or is Brouwer more likely to do that? These are not easy to predict and age certainly plays a factor, but we shouldn't assume that Ferland will continue on this pace if his past play is any indication. Nor should we assume that Brouwer will continue to be a lame duck player based on what he's done in the past, but with a much larger sample size.
