Your Team's Breakout Player Next Season

[WhatWhat]

Nichuskin. Healthy and now comfortable in the NA, being able to understand English plus possibly being on a line with Benn and Seguin. I think he could put up 60+ points

I have huge hopes for him next year and I think he may have the biggest breakout season in the NHL

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

This is an interesting category for NJ, someone will breakout due to icetime increase alone. I believe it will be Josefson who will finally become a productive 3rd line center.

 

[SirPaste]

Maybe Fabbri if he makes the team but the safest bet on the Blues is Dmitrij Jaskin

 

[SEALBound]

Sergei Plotnikov. I think if paired with Geno and Kessel he can turn some heads.

 

[Devil Dancer]

A dark horse for the Caps is Orlov. He missed all of last season with a wrist injury, but is reportedly going to be ready for the start if camp. With Green gone he should at least get 3rd pairing minutes. The problem is that he won't get PP time. Ovie plays a ton of PP time at the left D spot, and Carlson and Nisky will eat up most of the rest at the top of the 1-3-1.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Jonathan Drouin and Nikita Nesterov for the Lightning.

 

[Chaels Arms]

I expect JT Miller to score 20 goals especially if he plays on the Norwegian Wood line with Brassard and Zuccarello. Those two could turn John Scott into a decent middle sixer.

JT is my pick as well. He showed flashes of dominance late in the playoffs. If he can play at that level consistently there's no reason he can't get 50-55 pts.

Zack Kassian....oh wait

Bo Horvat

 

[HowSweeeedeItIs]

Drouin

 

[saskachewonian]

Kevin Fiala

A bit on the more experienced side but I think Kyle Turris has a big year.

 

[Raspewtin]

JT Miller.

Burakovsky for Caps

Gonna emerge as the second real scoring threat/pure sniper next to Ovi. Caps have needed one of those for a while
