thats why the underlying numbers said in an advance role he would produce more, he was in a limit role on teh 3rd line yet had high generation of shots, give him more ice time and with a better supporting cast and he will excel

The nerds got this one right at least for now

Fair but shooting at 20% is crazy and not really a normal amount of production. Hes better than 25 points for sure, but hes not likely a 65 point guy normally.

It's hard to predict with Burakovsky. On the one hand he is shooting close to 19.4% which is clearly unsustainable; but on the other hand he's a player that has always shot at higher than league average (career 13.9%), so even a small reduction won't be overly dramatic if he sees a regression to the mean. He's also a player that thrives on confidence, so it's not unfathomable that he could elevate his play a little bit off the back of this season and a new contract.
