Brent Burns. Boom or Bust for second half??

[Emilio2008]

Hi guys. I'm curious to know how you feel about Brent Burns.

I am in a keeper league but I'm going for the win this year and one of my D-men is Christian Ehrhoff. He is injured and I cannot find any information to really know a lot on his injury and even less about a possible return date. My league counts only points and I could trade one for one Ehrhoff for Burns. I'm confident that Burns will finish the season with more points than Ehrhoff because of the injury thing but does Burns have a shot at even 30? Will he get back on pace or what? Looking at his numbers I must say I don't understand why he doesn't seem to be able to put up points... 23 minutes per game, more than three minutes on the PP. A lot of shots for a D-men and playing with a potent offense.... What do you think??

His point totals are really bad so far and he's currently on pace for 28 points. So yes, he definitely has a shot at 30 points even if he somehow doesn't pull out of this funk. If he starts to score at his more usual rate of ~0.5 PPG he would end up in the 35 point range. And that's about what I'm expecting.
