Anton Lundell - Primed for a breakout season?

[Hollowmoon]

Is he the best player of the 2020 draft?

Tim Stützle, Alexis Lafrenière, Anton Lundell​

10gp 5g 6a 11p +4 FO% 52.9

He is looking good atm. And he plays a 200ft game. Mini-Barkov in the making and for 5M longterm. He is a bargain for the Panthers.

Usually it takes players 5 seasons or so to develop two way abilities: Lundy (and Barky to a lesser extent) are those rare gems who needed to develop offensively

Seems to pay off. Offense-only players develope much quicker. Theese 200ft players take a lot longer, especially centers. No clue whatsoever how you got Lundell for 5M longterm? I`d expect some other team would bet on him with an 8x8 contract. He actually look that promising, atleast eye-test.

Lundell is a team player. His 5 year deal is up in 2030...same year Barkov and Tkachuk are. He's going to get paid that year at the age of 29.

If he goes on a bit of goal scoring tear, there's definitely a chance he sets new career highs in goals, assists and points this year.

His best offensive production came his rookie year:
18 goals and 44 points in 65 games.

His up to date point totals pictured up above.

Having a really solid season and may be in line for a promotion to 2C [with or without Bennett staying in FLA] but if given more time at even strength and on the PP, could he become a 60 point player?
He's on pace for 53 and only gets 1 and 1/2 mins per game on the PP currently.

By far the best player in the NHL right now

I mean I could score on the Oilers too.

If the Panthers were smart they would trade Barkov now for a king's ransom! Barkov is too injury prone and will only go downhill from here. But his NHL stock right now is super high after the Panthers won the cup and Gretzky pumped his tires. This is the right time to trade Barkov! Trading Barkov could get something crazy like Aho, Necas and a 1st from Carolina or Rantanen, Nichushkin and a 1st from Colorado or Petterson (retained) and Boeser from Vancouver or Nylander, Tavares with a cheap extension and a 1st from Toronto or Draisaitl, Nurse and a 1st from Edmonton and countless other teams offering something similar...

I don’t know how I missed this post when it first came out, but this is why I LOVE HFboards. It’s always good for a laugh. I needed that. Thank you.

Been a nice Fantasy pickup. I keep benching him and regretting it - he seems to score whenever I have him out of my lineup.
Edit: He's one of the guys who benefits the most from Tkachuk minute vacuum.
