You really want to know how to get 30+ goals out of Ryder? Play him more than 14-15 freaking minutes a night with good NHL players. It's not rocket science.
He's averaging 16:26 this year. Was 17:22 last year. Was consistently under 15:20 min in Boston. Clearly icetime doesn't seem to be the issue with him not consistently producing.
