5 reasons why Bo didn't score 30 assists last year.

1) He had a very slow start.
2 ) He had very Sh1tty wingers last year.
3) His wingers were beyond sh1tty
4) I can't stress how bad his wingers were
5 ) Sven and Etems slow start Burrows Higgins and Prust

I really wonder what this team is capable of if they can stay healthy and gel together. So many line combos last season. All the kids have a bit more experience.

Salary Cap stays though.

Yup only one year. Detroit could be walking away with a top 5 pick in 2017

They had a lot of slugs last year and a lot of inexperience. Bad combination

Who are Bo's wingers this season?

Do you think a new assistant coach will have an affect on goal production?

Will Bo have back to back career years?

Wow ! Career years? Serious? Look up on google the word "Improving" or "Experience".

Career year for a 21 year old

I know his wingers won't be Burrows Higgins or Prust

Bo a -30 needs a winger to help him out defensively. Sutter back less draws in his own end. Etem a full season would of had 24 points, shawn Mathias 2.0. Even linden vey a full season was on pace for 30. I have hopes Vey turns into something more this year.

He didn't play with Higgins or Prust hardly of at all, these were his most frequent linemates at even strength.

Bo had a slow start last year . Not unusual for a second year player. Him and Hansen were Canucks two best forwards in the second half. Sven also struggled in the first half . No surprise that when Svens point production picked up so did Bo's or vice versa

I think just more balanced ice time would benefit Horvat. He had some tough assignments.

Healthy team is all we can hope for.

So Bo will get 30 assists on goals from Bart and Hansen?

That will be impressive. Hope it happens.

Yup agree...

Sutter is such a poopty center in terms of puck distribution I'd like to see Baertschi with him because he can pass it, which means Bo plays with Etem and Virtanen?

so 'yes' for improvement.

The other two questions?
- bloatedmosquito

The coaching for years has been crap so I don't expect a big difference.

Bo's wingers

Sedin Sedin Eriksson
Sven Sutter Hansen
Tkachuk Bo JV
Etem Gaunce Dorsett

That is how I see the forwards next year and yes I know I have Tkachuk on the third line.

He only needs six more assists for 30, it's not hard to imagine his linemates getting six more goals....is it?

My point being I don't see Bo's linemates improving much from last season even though he's capable of those numbers you stated.
