Who on your team looks primed to break out or take the next step?

[Cheddabombs]

Bratt has looked great thus far.

 

[Leafs87]

Marner

 

[Apotheosis]

Marner looks absolutely insane and Matthews somehow got faster.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Pavel Buchnevich

 

[Szechwan]

Pavel Buchnevich

This is a guy I see doing big things this year with some more playing time.

 

[DFC]

Brayden Point will step into the top tier.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Timo Meier

 

[boredmale]

Pulock should break 40 points, if he gets first unit PP I can see 50+

Question is can he get 20 goals(he had 5 in 5 pre season games I believe)

 

[McVespa99]

Pool party. He is not going to be a ppg guy but he looks like a totally different guy. Amazing how much difference a little maturity makes on a 20 yr old.

 

[Lunatik]

For the Flames.

Andersson & Dube look ready to step into the lineup and perform well.
Czarnik looks ready to become a legitimate middle 6 offensive threat.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Andrew MacDonald is going to take his game to another level. If you thought he was a highlight machine (for the opposition) before, wait til you see what he cooks up this year.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Saros for the Preds might be the only candidate who could break out, everyone else is a returning veteran who is pretty well established in their role.

I suppose Hartman could shock us, but I'm not counting on that, and then Tolvanen has a chance to prove himself in Milwaukee and earn a roster spot at some point, but I'd peg his breakout season as next year or the year after.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Zadina and Veleno for the Wings. Legit top two forwards for the Wings for years to come. Only a matter of time before the Wings rebuild comes into full and gets peoples head scratching. Thanks MTL for passing on Zadina and thanks Las Vegas for taking on Tatar for a 18 1st plus two more top 75 picks. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L

 

[McClelland]

Pulju for sure! 21+29 50 p

Dj Mika must show full potential for a full season sooner then later, 35+ 32 67 p

 

[Jeti]

Rather than list players who are already famous as if they haven't already broken out (really? Matthews?), I'll actually contribute something.

The next name people are going to be hearing about out of Winnipeg is Jack Roslovic.

 

[CraigsList]

Czarnik looks amazing out there.

Hanifin and Lindholm are HM's. All 3 fit really well in Calgary.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Chlapik and Lajoie have played pretty well for Ottawa in the preseason.

 

[SDBondra]

Kuznetsov. Could be in the Art Ross picture. So good.

 

[Jester9881]

People are going to take notice of Ryan Pulock this season. Getting it done on both ends of the ice.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Bratt has looked great thus far.

I'm going to agree with this. My hope is he can hit 50-60 points. He is already talented enough, he just needs to be able to endure the full season.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Bratt has looked great thus far.

Should be able to handle the leeeeeeeengthy season much better this year. Looked great this time last year as well, then fell off a cliff in the 2nd half.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, Reilly, Kadri, Hyman, Matthews, Gardiner, Dermott, Kapanen, and Marleau all could take big steps.

Marleau is going to arrive? About time!

 

[Colt.45Orr]

Pulock and Beauvillier

Beauvillier and Barzal are a great chemistry match from whenever I've seen them play together.

 

[NotOpie]

Two names: Valentin Zykov and Warren Foegele....so few follow the Hurricanes here that I doubt these names mean much to y'all, but they're gonna surprise.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Zadina and Veleno for the Wings. Legit top two forwards for the Wings for years to come. Only a matter of time before the Wings rebuild comes into full and gets peoples head scratching. Thanks MTL for passing on Zadina and thanks Las Vegas for taking on Tatar for a 18 1st plus two more top 75 picks. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L

Didn’t the Wings send Veleno back to juniors already? I’m pretty sure this thread is about players playing in the NHL this season.

Also, I’m pretty sure MTL is still pretty happy with their selection.
