17 - Number of days remaining until the 2016-17 season. But it's also...
...the number of goals scored by Andre Burakovsky in the 2015-16 season, almost twice as many as he scored in his rookie year (9).
Given his slow start to the season, the fact that Burakovsky ended up just shy of 20 goals was something of a surprise and largely due to a second-half surge; less of a surprise was the fact that it coincided with him getting two shiny new linemates in Justin Williams and Evgeny Kuznetsov.
