'Most excited for player' on your team to watch this year?

[LeafsNation75]

Marner
Matthews
Tavares

Those were the Leafs players I was going to mention.

 

[Foots]

Tom Wilson for the Caps.



I keed, I keed.

 

[Spilot23]

Mackinnon easily for the Avs. I'm excited to see if he can pick up where he left off or if he could be even better (yeah I know that's a big big if) I just hope our first line play like the way they did last season.

 

[Puckstop40]

Marchessault, Karlsson, Patches, and Tuch

 

[LeftHeartInSF]

Hertl. Dude is going to turn into a monster this year.

 

[Lemieuxs]

For me as a Penguins fan, I would have to say Sprong is the one I am most excited to see regarding how he adapts to the NHL fulltime. He is finally getting his chance.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Heiskanen, Nichushkin, Hintz, and Honka for the Stars. Sucks that Honka and Nichushkin are out for the season opener. Everyone should look a little different under Montgomery.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Puljujarvi. He has looked really strong in the preseason. This is the year he should make a splash, if he does make one.

 

[PuckItUp27]

That kid who won the Calder

 

[LamorielloAndSon]

Barzal

 

[Varcus]

I’m going to pay more attention to the habs. Mostly jk. He looked much better then I expected. Plus the habs actually look like a fast team. It was fun to watch.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

.
1. Nick Schmaltz
Playing with Kane and Saad, I wouldn't be shocked if he approached a PPG.
2. Henri Jokiharju

 

[JoseTheodore2002]

Kotkaniemi

 

[Exit Dose]

Comtois, Montour, and Kase

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

Tom Wilson

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Vilardi...someday

But JAD and Wagner, both bringing different things.

As far as roster mainstays, Iafallo and Amadio look like completely different players this year. Exactly the kind of growth you hope for from youngsters.

 

[zar]

97

His first mention in this thread... I guess no one else is excited to see him play.

 

[wabagee]

William Nylander?

 

[oconnor9sean]

Miro Heiskanen. Looked like a top defender from shift number one. Kid’s gonna be special.

 

[jetsforever]

Roslovic, Vesalainen, Laine

 

[jetsforever]

William Nylander?

But on which team?

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

A lot of isles fans would say Barzal, but I’m more interested to see how Pulock develops.

 

[wabagee]

But on which team?

He would be expensive on the fourth line with Ehlers.

 

[WinJiggysLoft]

Ducks: Montour is about to blow up

 

[SourTemplePilot]

Miro Heiskanen. Looked like a top defender from shift number one. Kid’s gonna be special.
