Breakout player OTY?

[Love]

JT Miller’s previous career high in points was 58 points in 82 games and he’s currently at 68 points in 65 games.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

I voted for Tristan Jarry.

 

[lottster14]

I like Konecny and Blackwood here

 

[ijuka]

I don't consider players as young as Svechnikov for this, IMO that's not what breaking out really is.

 

[Fugazy]

Svech has my vote.

 

[Sasso09]

Konecny mostly because Svech was kinda a can't miss stud. Either one of those two.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Has to be JT Miller.

Guy went from cap dump to being a team's best player.

Jarry's the only other solid candidate.

Player A: career high 56 points, on pace for 85 points. Net of +29
Player B: career high 49 points, on pace for 79 points. Net of +30

Player A is the winner

Player B shouldn't even be considered.

Makes sense.

Do people think Pionk is having a fluke season or something? For the life of me, I cannot understand the lack of attention he is getting...

Also, here's a piping hot take: anyone voting Konecny hasn't been paying close enough attention, because he has been really good for quite a while now.

 

[M2Beezy]

JT Miller the obvious one here not sure what league the OP was watching to miss him lol

Of the mis selected options still some good candidates: Girard, Konecny, Svech, Fiala, Etc

He's been really good but what he's doing is the definition of breaking out. On pace to add 31 points to his career high and finish with 32 goals, 48 assist, 80 points. This is a guy that @JoeThorntonsRooster was adamantly calling a 3rd liner in the beginning of the season.

He wasn't just a cap dump, he returned a 1st for Tampa. They had to move someone but it's not like Miller ever had negative value despite what the gurus around here told us.

That literally never happened.

Kubalik, 24 years old.

29 goals in 64 NHL games despite being 7th in average TOI among Blackhawks forwards.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

DuClair. All star.

I personally don’t believe sophomores really apply for this

 

[hockeyguru]

I personally don’t believe sophomores really apply for this

why? isn't what sophomores are doing more of a breakout than veterans who are having a career year, like jt miller?

 

[HFpapi]

For me the answer is clearly Zibanejad...last year I thought he was just another player having a career season late in his 20's (Like JT Miller this year), but now I think he's a legit superstar. Might've scored 45+ goals if not for injury.

He’s going to score 45+....

He’s going to score 45+....

12 goals in 16 games is hardly a given for any player...

EDIT: Immediately checked NHL.com to see if I missed anything and I see he has a hattrick... I stand corrected... He's insane this year

Chychrun deserves an honorable mention.
