Who, quietly, had a very impressive season?

[WesMcCauley]

Dahlin. Fantastic rookie season for a defensemen. If he played on a better team or was canadian he would be talked about every day on this board. Buffalo have an amazing player in him already, he does everything at a top level.

Btw i just hope NYR can get an elite talent on their roster soon. Makes everything more fun when you have that top player/talent on your team and its been a long time since we had that. Im jealous of all the teams with elite forwards/defensemen....

 

[bdub24]

Ryan Johansen....second highest points Season in his career this year. He's a pass first kinda guy, so probably won't get the love...but man is he generating scoring chances.

 

[HansonBro]

Hertl

 

[SotasicA]

Max Domi and Tatar, MTL top 2 forwards this year, 2 very solid trade by Bergevin.

Nothing in Montreal happens quietly.

 

[CauZuki]

Andrew Shaw had some injuries but still produced his best offensive season:

19G - 28A- 47P in 63 games.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Andrew Shaw had some injuries but still produced his best offensive season:

19G - 28A- 47P in 63 games.

For those of you doing the math at home:

That's a 25g 61p pace over 82 games.

From Andrew Shaw. And he looks like a 60 point guy too, not just leeching points from elite linemates.

Very impressed by his play this year

I remember that main board thread saying Sebastian Aho should get consideration for the Hart Trophy because he was a one-man-army-offense on the Hurricanes. I replied, "not really, they also have Teräväinen".

"OMG, are you serious !€%&¥!!¢‰&%/!!" was the answer.

Not long thereafter Teräväinen was picked off the Aho line, but continued to put up points with wicked offenseman Jordan Staal whereas Aho fell back to earth, and at seasons end Aho finished only 7 points ahead.

I think you might be exaggerating a bit? Unless the search function didn't work correctly, or you are referring to a different thread (which could be the case). As far as I can tell, there was 1 single response to your post in that thread and it was simply "What?". I posted it below.

Sebastian Aho for the Hart Trophy?

How can Aho win the Hart when he plays on the same line as the Teuvo.

What?

I agree though on TT. He had a quietly good year.

Can't comment much on other teams, but Dougie Hamilton also had an outstanding season and a lot of it went unnoticed because he was injured early in the season so the Canes had to lighten his minutes due to that. From my understanding, he has a history of really turning it on the 2nd half of seasons in the past as well.

18 goals (only 2 on the PP) and 39 points (only 7 on the PP). Since Jan 1st though, 15G, 29P and +15 in 44 games played. He's been fantastic with Slavin on the top pairing and is a big reason the Canes are in the playoffs.

 

[easton117]

David Krejci.

Came to say this guy.

I was one of his wingers at one point. Believe I was number 215 on the season for him.

Amazing what two hip surgeries and some time to heal has done for the guy. He looks 23 out there.

 

[Esq]

As per the title....

looking at the top 50 scorers, the one guy for me is Teuvo Teräväinen with 21G 55A

Dont think the Canes make the playoffs without him.

I bet the Hawks would take him and Bickell's contract back.

I bet the Hawks wish they knew Bickell had MS before the deal...

 

[amnesiac]

I bet the Hawks wish they knew Bickell had MS before the deal...

they still threw a bad contract at him, and it wasnt his MS that made the deal bad. Was poor judgment.

Did the same with Bolland, Hossa, Keith, and Seabrook.... Keith's cap hit isnt SO bad, but theyre still stuck with him untill 22-23 unless they plan to "cheat" a la LTIR.

They won their Cups, but now are facing the consequences. Who knows when theyll be contenders again.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Jake Guentzel

82 Games - 40 Goals - 36 Assists - 76 Points

Meaning he now has more 40 goal seasons than Phil Kessel. Go figure.

 

[Cygnusx1018]

Scott Mayfield

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Mantha kinda got overshadowed by Larkin and Athanasiou. Guy would've scored 30 if he hadn't broken his hand on somebody's face.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Pretty sure the winner of this award is Marcus Pettersson.

Third in scoring among rookie defenseman. Lead all rookie defenseman in +/-.

Was also an iron man that played in 84 games.

It was so quiet he played for my favorite team and I didn’t even realize any of this until just a little while ago by dumb luck when looking at another player’s stats.

 

[amnesiac]

Mantha kinda got overshadowed by Larkin and Athanasiou. Guy would've scored 30 if he hadn't broken his hand on somebody's face.

was kind of an expected season from him, considering scoring went up across the league, no?

I think Athanasiou was a bigger surprise.

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Arvidsson set a franchise record for goals scored in Nashville’s history, and he missed 24 games. I think if he stayed healthy (cause when he got injured he was on fire) I think he could’ve easily have gotten 40-45 goals. Also, the obvious is Huberdeau.

 

[Just Linda]

Elias Lindholm?

Had a great year, got a ton of press though.

 

[Just Linda]

Max Domi and Tatar, MTL top 2 forwards this year, 2 very solid trade by Bergevin.

I wouldn't say there's anything quiet about either one this year.

 

[Armourboy]

Ryan Johansen....second highest points Season in his career this year. He's a pass first kinda guy, so probably won't get the love...but man is he generating scoring chances.

And in a season where Forsberg and Arvi both missed a rather large chunk of time.

Speaking of which, Arvidsson scored 34 goals and 48 points in only 58 games. Nashville probably has its first 40 goal scorer if he doesn't get hurt.

 

[Josepho]

Erik Gustaffson easily has the most surprising statline of 2018-2019.

17-43-60 in 79 games.

 

[hateseed]

Hertl

Hertl finished the season with 74 points in 77 games.

His 57 even strength points are 3rd in franchise history, behind 06-07 Joe Thornton and 07-08 Joe Thornton.

His 3.07 even strength points per 60 minutes ranks 3rd (!) among centers, and 8th among all players.

What a monster season.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Evan Rodriguez. One of the very few players on our roster to exceed expectations and he actually far exceeded them. Our 4th best forward by a mile.

Larsson, while not contributing a lot offensively, was great this season, a possession monster.

4th line was better than 2nd and 3rd all season long.

 

[780il]

Darnell Nurse quietly had 10 goals and 41 points this year.

For a long stretch when Klefbom went down with an injury he was playing around 30 minutes a night consistently.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Jake Vrana in his second full season potted 24 goals and 23 assist(23 even strength goals) while playing around the lineup.
