Who had a career year last year? who's going to have one this year? I think a large part of our success last year was because a few guys were playing above or even at expectations.
2021-22 Career year. Will be more impressive this year:
Makar - won Norris and Smythe. made case for best player in the league. Pretty darn good year. Most likely, he'll top it this year.
Nichushkin. Best forward on the team for parts of the year. Hopefully, he doesn't slow down now that he's gotten paid. I don't think he will. He's only going to get better.
Devon Toews. A top defensemen in the league, playing with The top defensemen in the league. He'd have to purposely try to regress to make it out of this category
2021-22 Career Year. Won't repeat this year:
Kadri. Obvisouly.
J. Johnson. Not a career year, but played well above expectations.
Landeskog - He was killing it last year, before the knee surgery. I hope that wasn't his last "best year", but we don't even know when he's going to be back.
2022-23 Career Year, (but repeatable in the future):
Byram - Looked incredible last year when not injured. Can't wait to see a whole year of this kid.
Lehkonen/Manson/Cogliano - These guys just have to play like they did in the playoffs for a whole season to rack up the accolades.
Rodrigues - This guy has the biggest opportunity since he made the league. I think he'll push himself to thrive and earn a big, big payday next year.
MacKinnon -I feel like he'll go on a tear to prove that he's earned the title "highest paid player in the league".
Newhook/LOC will pick up their game from last year, but we won't be talking about them having career years at this time next year. Meyers will probably start strong, but will hit the wall around January. ( like LOC last year).
I definitely don't see any of the remaining roster regressing. It's pretty easy to say that we can repeat again this year.
