Most improved player on your team

[BLNY]

Domi I suppose. He didn't play for Montreal last year, but having a 70 point season with a previous high of 52 points is huge.

 

[super6646]

People already said Lindholm, so Rasmus Andersson/David Rittich for the flames.

 

[Cats2TheCup]

Huberdeau

 

[izzy]

sundqvist

 

[Clode]

Brandon Carlo

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Specifically with respect to guys who were here last year, this award has to go to Garnet Hathaway. He went from a fringe AHLer who most felt wasn't worth qualifying in the summer and who many felt should have been waived, to a bonafide NHLer who has done everything you could reasonably ask of a #12F

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Mackenzie Blackwood went from playing in the ECHL to playing .920 hockey in the NHL in under a year

 

[NastyKnies]

I shit on the guy a lot but Ron Hainsey has had a pretty good year, and Rielly obv.

 

[Aladyyn]

I guess it's Eichel by default? I guess Larsson is an option but that's more about how bad he was last year.

 

[HockeyAddict]

Just stat-watching, for the Sharks (2nd favourite team), Hertl (+28 pts) and Meier (+30 pts)... Labanc (+16 pts) to a lesser extent.

 

[JoVel]

Stamkos

 

[Peat]

Compared to last season I’d say Letang.

Good shout but I'd go with Guentzel. Could also be Murray.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

DeAngelo. He went from barely playing at an NHL caliber level to a good middle pairing defenseman.

 

[Club]

Ullmark or Reinhart.

 

[McKappa]

Leon Draisaitl officially became a star this season.

Darnell Nurse also took a big jump forward offensively, but is frustratingly inconsistent on defense.

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

Athansiou for the Wings. Larkin was better, but that was expected.

This ^

Athanasiou improved his compete level drastically. If he continues that and uses his teammates more next year... yeah, he'll be a serious threat for leading in points on the Wings.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Blackwood is the most obvious answer, going from the ECHL to a 1a/1b situation with Schneider and having a .918 save percentage.

I'd also throw Zacha in there. Had a rough start to the season, pointless in his first 10 and sent down the AHL. But after he got recalled he was a different player. Not just in his play, where he was driving the game offensively much more than he had before. But he was finally putting up points pretty consistently. I think he had 20 in his last 30 or something. Hopefully that trend continues next season. His talent and raw skills are great, but finding that consistently had been a struggle.

 

[CanadienShark]

Meier for sure.

I'd say Hertl, but points are just catching up to him, rather than him improving as drastically.

 

[DaBolts]

Cirelli on the Bolts. He's a 30/50 player next season if the lines are set up for him.

 

[CptxMorgan]

Eye test wise, definitely Carlo.

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

Blake Coleman is another good option.

 

[urho]

Sebastian Aho - from 65 point winger to 83 point #1C. Not something you see every year.

 

[chauron]

Sebastian Aho

 

[Volica]

Matty Tkachuk or Elias Lindholm.
Matthew is a legit top line LW I’m almost every team in the NHL. Lindholm went from dependable middle 6 option to legit top line talent.

Flames have been lucky with progress.

 

[Le Grec]

Brock f***ing Nelson...
