Hey Wild fans, was wondering if you could help me out. I'm in the late rounds of a hockey pool, and Pierre-Marc Bouchard is on my shortlist. I was just wondering what you guys feel he's capable of points-wise this season, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I would think it would depend on if Gaborik gets signed and they play together. If Gabby comes over and they hit it off, 60 points would be my guess. Without Gaborik, I dunno...45?
He looked pretty decent tonight. I'd be very pleased with 50 out of him. That'd be an impressive jump, I think. 40-45 might be a good conservative guess, just IMO. Depends a fair bit on the number of games he gets. (I'm thinking if he's not in as much again this year that 30-35 is more reachable.)
I believe that he only gained 3 pounds, but Lemaire has said he is much stronger. He has improved his stride very much as well according to Lemaire, and I wouldn't doubt his opinion.
