[Szechwan]

Who on your team is going to up their output? Anyone you expect to just "get it" this year?

Elias Lindholm

Fabbri and Parayko for the Blues

Really scary that Parayko can still break out after the season he just had.

On the Islanders, Ryan Strome has to breakout this year.

 

[Dishface]

Elias Lindholm
Teuvo Teräväinen

One can only hope sir.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Look for Ceci to take a big step forward.

Fabbri and Parayko for the Blues

I doubt Parayko breaks out more than he's already done, imo.

 

[CanuckBeSerious]

Sam Gagner

 

[East Coast Icestyle]

I feel like Bennett and Frolik have huge years

 

[Drake744]

Colin Wilson (every year since 2011)
Ryan Ellis

 

[PsychoDad]

Vatrano

 

[McDLT]

Hopefully Ehlers

 

[WangMustGo]

I think Pulock has a chance to have a great year.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Hopefully Maatta returns to his form of a couple of years ago. He started to play like that in the latter half of the playoffs. Pens need him to return to "future top pairing" Maatta, rather than simply "decent second pairing" Maatta.

Also, one of the youngsters (Rust, Sheary) need to have a breakout season offensively this year. If HBK stays together, the Pens will need one (or both) of those two to produce roughly 35+ points so that Crosby and/or Malkin have scoring options on their wing.

 

[McDavidbowie]

For the Oilers, RNH, Draisaitl, and Klefbom.

League wide..

MacKinnon, Matthews, Dumba, Henrique, Ehlers, maybe Vesey?

 

[Tripod]

From Philly....Couts.

Only an injury kept him from putting up the points to be recognized. He was on a 50+ point pace last year and a 62 point pace from Nov 28th onward.

He could be a sleeper pick in a hockey pool where others view him as a sub 40 point guy.

 

[Wabit]

Wild:

Parise. Opps breakout year, not break again.

Defense: Brodin (at least for him) 25p with no PP time. It would be Dumba, but I think this is the year he learns/focuses on defense first.

Offense: Haula plays a while season like the last end of last year.

 

[CBJx614]

I think Jones fully establishes himself as a true #1. He already eats minutes, but I think he's going to be the anchor of the D this year that should put up quite a few points.

 

[Dbrownss]

Look for Ceci to take a big step forward.



I doubt Parayko breaks out more than he's already done, imo.

Parayko is capable of being a 45-50pt shutdown defenseman.

 

[AvroArrow]

Nylander is a good candidate for the leafs, expecting a strong 82 game season out of him.

He's already been really good IMO. Looked like a strong defensive C and showed flashes of the offensive talent that everyone talked about in his draft year. Would be pretty scary if he steps it up even more.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Namestnikov. Fingers crossed.

 

[hamzarocks]

Nylander will break in with a 50+pt rookie season, he's been developed for the past two years and I could see him getting 60 and leading the leafs in pts if all goes right this season. Definitely one of the players leafs fans are going to be watching eagerly

 

[Kamiccolo]

Parayko is capable of being a 45-50pt shutdown defenseman.

So a modern Bobby Orr? Get out of here with that.

 

[Kamiccolo]

For the Leafs, Bozak is going to surprise some people. If he can stay healthy he's going to score 60+ points.

 

[hamzarocks]

So a modern Bobby Orr? Get out of here with that.

A 45-50 pt dmen isn't a bobby orr lol, thats close to a drew doughty. A modern bobby orr is a 75+pt dmen who is the best defensive player in the world, which no dmen in the nhl can say they are
