Burns in 2016-17

Is he EK Lite. Can he approach 75 again? This doesn't look like a late-career fluke to me. Presumably all those shots explain the point total, and a shot total is something that you can repeat if you have the will.

75 again seems like a reach. But at least 65 points plus 300 shots on goal for sure. Similar cast in San Jose plus addition of Boedker.

Another for the 60 plus and plenty of peripherals. I would go as far as to say his ADR should be 2nd amongst d men on almost all leagues

I'm with you on that. Lots to love, but probably not 75 again.

I wouldn't bet on 75, but I think he will hit 65 and the upside for 75 is there, with monster peripherals. He shouldn't make it out of the 2nd round in any multicat leagues.

Exactly! Burns is a multi-cat stud who will chip in 60-65 pts.

There is nothing lite about his game. 75 should be his career year. I wouldn't call it a fluke as he's always been a dominant player and a solid point producer. This was the first year with DeBoer as the Sharks head coach - that is probably the biggest influence on his increased production.

Defensemen are scoring more and more every season, there are twice as many 50 point Dmen as there were just 4 years ago, cracking 70 would not shock me, but I wouldn't put money on it

I like this. I'm expecting another great season from him.
