    Default When if ever will Patrik Berglund be a 60+ player

    Will Bergs hit 60+ points in the next season or two? Is he a career 40-50 pt tweener between 2nd and 3rd lines?

    Berglund is a perfect third line center and his stats going forward will reflect this.... 60 points is never going to happen. Only thing going for Berglund is that the only center above him on the depth chart is Backes, so he will continue to get decent wingers and PP time. When the youth in StL are ready to carry more responsibilty, or if the Blues can find a way to add a better centerman (they will try this summer - guaranteed), then Berglund will find himself permanently on the third line and then 40 points will be a good season.

    You never know, because he has TOP level talent and physical ability but his focus and consistency suck. I could see him hitting 70 points in a career year but never reaching above 45 thereafter.

    I think he will be a 60+ point guy if/when Hitchcock is fired. His system makes the team all 45-55 point guys because of spread out ice time. If he was to be the 1C in STL and on the top PP under that system he could get close at best but I doubt it.

    He needs more minutes to break into that level. I dunno, maybe there's a team out there that sees him as a top line center and drops him a huge offer sheet this summer that St. Louis can't (or doesn't want) to match. Something in the O'Reilly range for instance. As long as he's in St. Louis he's looking at more of the same, which means 16:50 minutes per game, 2:21 on the power play. That's probably not enough to elevate Berglund to the next level.

    The players in StL are just 45-55 point players, regardless of the coach. There is not a premier offensive player in the bunch and nobody was lighting things up when Payne was still the coach. Hitch uses a system that gives these players the best chance to win games and if there were better offensive players on the roster, they would score more points.

    Im going to have to disagree with that. I think the coach is putting them into the system where he rolls four lines at all times ....I don't think it's the players lack of skill that is causing this.

    This is only possible on EA Sports NHL 14'.

    Nothing's impossible, but smart bet is that he'll max out as a 50 to 55 point guy.

    Right now, I tend to agree. However if he was to find himself on another team or if StL found a new coach, that could change considerably.
