Sean Avery Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Still nothing to really talk about... so I wanted to ask all of you how well you think Baertschi will do this season. My prediction is he'll improve, won't be an outstanding player for us, but still a good player and get around 20 goals and 20 assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be a guy to dish the puck to Sutter who *could* score 20+. I bet Baertschi outscores Sutter though. Big break out years for Horvat, Baerstchi, and Hutton.

Mathew Barzal Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I really hope he cracks 20, but realistically I think 15 - 30 would be a solid campaign for him. Honestly Bo botched a lot of really nice setups last year in the first half of the season before he gained his confidence. If those start going in 30 assists should be doable.

Oliewud Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 25 goals this year. Too much skill + good attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Sparkle Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 anything more than 10 goals is a good season. i'm not expecting much from this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen, I think he's actually more of a playmaker than scorer. Depending on his minutes and linemates, I would say 17 goals and 35 assists.

I bet Baertschi outscores Sutter though. Big break out years for Horvat, Baerstchi, and Hutton. Baertschi is listed as a sleeper candidate in some of the Hockey Pool guides....the Forecaster has him as the guy "one the rise" in Vancouver with 20g-22a...The Hockey News has him getting 35pts but they are often wrong. If he gets decent PP time on the second unit with Bo, and Sutter gets his 20-20 (which is almost a for sure thing given his career and with his prorated production of last year in limited games played with a new team) and Jarvis shakes up special teams to make us less predictable, and Hutton progresses, it is easy to say Baertschi could get up to 50pts (maybe more?). Which is about what you could hope for a second line winger these days. I believe that our 2nd PP line is going to both get more minutes and be better with Jarvis shaking things up and Baertschi's hands will be part of the reason for that. Also he's 23...and entering his break-out time period... So with all this in mind - and the fact I am a believer- prediction is 10PP goals 26goals overall 25 assists - 51 pts, fourth in scoring overall (Horvat beats him by 3 pts).

I think alot of his production will obviously end up where/how WD uses him and if JB brings in another winger. There's been talk of 2nd or 3rd line. These are my views assuming he plays on the 2nd line and gets "real" pp time over the course of the season 21 goals 25 assists 46 pts with 4 ppg and 4 ppa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK Phooey Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'm predicting a break out season for Sven Baertschi...he's going to put all the discussions about the need for a second line LWer aside by putting up 26 goals and banking 38 assists for a 64 point season. He's going to make JB look like a genius for giving up a second round pick for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter can put in 20 in the right situation, but I just have a feeling Baer is coming out swinging this season and rips it right up. 21g 18a. I'd be very happy with these numbers. 5 more assists. 6 more goals. That is a good step from a good last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davydgoliath Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 22-27-49 All it will take for him to achieve such a big jump in production is a hot start out of the gate and I for one believe he and Horvat will do so. Speed kills and they have it in spades. It will likely be either Hansen or Rodin on their right side (Virtanen being a bit of a dark horse possibility) and they are fast as well. It's going to be a fun line to watch no matter how it all shakes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 He was killing it last season when he started driving the net and going to the corners, everything else just came with that. Im expecting a breakout season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
