He really changed his game and is looking confident again this season, I wanted to ask the question do you think he scores 40 again?


I personally think so since he is basically glued with Miller or Pettersson 100% of the time

But Boeser is a streaky player and has has bad seasons, so It's really up in the air

tell me what you guys think


cheers
 
If the blood clot issue is resolved without lingering effects and he stays healthy I think he’ll be a low 30s goal scorer, but not 40. He definitely benefitted from some puck luck last year, but he also was rejuvenated after a couple years where his head and heart clearly wasn’t in it. Horvat and Kuzmenko leaving also meant a bigger role again on the PP, which should continue.

Last 41 games he had 15 goals and 29 points on 16.1% shooting. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s more in line with his numbers this year.

He shot close to 20% and his career average before last year was under 13%. If his shooting luck drops back to previous levels he’s going to have to take like another 100+ shots to hit 40 again

If he's healthy. But I don't think he will be.
Sadly this was what happened.

He was not the same after that head shot from Jeannot.


How are the yes's winning this poll? Shameless homerism? Or are people really silly enough to think 20% is a repeatable shooting percentage?
We’ve had our fair share of hiccups in the past, and it was not easy for me to say this. But you did make a decent call about the Canucks in general for this season

Funny enough, with his hot streak, his shooting percentage is now nearly identical to last season (19.6 to 19.2). Granted it’s still not sustainable, but I think it shows that his regression is more about a lower quality of play this year, as well as not having Miller helping him.

Though I thought he played well until the Jeannot hit and has again recently. It’s possible it just took a long time for him to fully recover. Which seems a consistent issue with Boeser and injuries.

Agreed

@wetcoast does Boeser have a top 5 wristshot in the pacific division ?
 
He is a likeable guy but if I was in charge of the Canucks I would let another team overpay for him in the offseason and he might be one of the guys who doesn't get as much interest as some people think.

He has a very good shot but I prefer to judge players overall instead of breaking down subjective things like a wrist shot.

First thing I thought of is that Shane Wright has a really good wrist shot but so what, each player has to bring more than just their best trait to the table and then we view the overall package.

Lekkerimäki has a really good shot as well.

Perhaps someone else might chime in.
