Brent Burns Back to D Points Only?

[Rocky71]

Sounds almost certain that with the departure of Boyle, Burns will be back to playing D, and more importantly will be a key piece of their Power Play. That being said what do you project points wise for Burnsy?

With Boyle gone he should get a ton of PP time, I think he breaks 50 (or very near it) for the first time in his career

I am going to go with 46 points if he stays healthy.

40 points

I am not sure that Boyle leaving really affects much for him. Burns was already playing the point on PP1 last year when he was a forward. I dont see much of a change for him because of Boyle leaving. That being said, I think he ends up somewhere around 35-40 pts for the Sharks this year in a full time D role again.

I give him 45 as a Dman. If his first pass is always to Big Joe on the PP then maybe 50+. That last part was a joke (but not really).
