Most improved player of 2023-24

[VanIsle]

Evan Bouchard wins this hands down.
4th in defense scoring ahead of Fox and Hedman.

36th last year.

I think it's a 3 horse race between Slafkovsky, Byfield and Lafreniere. Any one of those guys have a legit claim.

Easy - Ukko-Pekka Luukkonnen.

Reinhart and Dobson

Id agree if he played a sound defensive game..... Dobson>Bouchard hands down

Who do you think is the most improved player this year?


For forwards I'll nominate Slafkovsky, . Went from a 21 points pace over the course of 82 games in his rookie year, to a 50 point pace this year.

Has 58 points in 117 career games. 48 of those points were this season.

For defenseman. I'd pick Thomas Harley, 46 points in 77 games. Previously had 8 points in 40 games.

Who are some other candidates?

Slaf is even more impressive if you look at it from mid year or so where he really took off

17 goals and 40 points since dec 21st in 48 games. That's close to a 30 goal/70 point pace. And I suspect he will continue to get better going into next year

Erik Karlsson unimproved himself

He's saving himself for the playoffs.

Never in a million years did I think Hyman would only be 10 or so goals behind Matthews. What the ever loving f***.
