Vancouver Canucks sniper Brock Boeser did much better than anybody could have expected in his rookie 2017-18 season, scoring 29 goals and 55 points, despite missing the final month of the season with a back injury.
Boeser would have surely threatened to score 40 goals if he didn’t miss 20 games last season, but the good news is 2018-19 is a fresh start. Now that he and Bo Horvat have proper chemistry established, Boeser should be in line for a monster second year.
And not only will he (probably), lead the Canucks in scoring, but you shouldn’t sleep on Boeser’s chances of winning the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy, given annually to the league’s top goal-scorer.
