Who is going to surprise this year ?

[egd27]

JT will surprise some of you.

 

[Dayjobdave]

I think it could be Murray. I also thing OEL - Lilly could be a very good thing.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

I think Phil Myers will surprise a lot of people this year like Benoit did. He’s big, mean and can contribute offensively. I see this being his last great shot and he will deliver



Who do you think will surprise and make an impact we aren’t expecting?

SIGNED,

Phil's Mom.

 

[rumman]

SIGNED,

Phil's Mom.

Datk horse I’m hoping impresses……

 

[ULF_55]

Taylor Swift breaks up with football guy and dates Styles.

Highly doubtful!

Taylor wants to be the pretty one in her relationships.

 

[The Shadow]

SIGNED,

Phil's Mom.

As Phil’s mom I appreciate you calling me out and keeping things transparent

 

[GoonieFace]

I think Knies will break out.

Puberty can be cruel

 

[The Shadow]

Highly doubtful!

Taylor wants to be the pretty one in her relationships.

Their breakup is already planned. Supposedly this month

 

[TMLAM34]

Matt Murray.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Stolarz and Mobby McBann

 

[Sypher04]

Who's we in this scenario?

Everyone who is exhausted of reading the same Marner related garbage in every thread. Feels like that was pretty obvious.

The biggest shock is Mitch being still here at the moment. I'm sorry you have a need to play a victim in every thread.

What the f*** are you even on about?

I guess you'll be shocked to see us end the season 2 or 3 in the division ? Dafuq kind of surprise you can expect with Mitch playing third of every
game?

Let's not talk about him for a second? Let's talk about players playing 10 min per night showing us something special?

Would you even be shocked seeing him reach 100 point after predicting it for almost a decade?

Let's all be shocked from Matthews scoring 70 goals! That'll shock the world given the information at hand.

oh boy are you in for a surprising season with a twist in the post season. Bless you

Cool, so you think those things happening are boring surprises or not surprises at all. I don’t even disagree with most cases.

Honestly even IF Marner decided to waive, I’d be shocked if we punched a massive hole in our roster and traded him midseason.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

This guy has one more chance at a top 6 role. Id say he in the "expected to produce" category or its gona be nick robertson fighting for 1 year league min deals with random teams a week into free agency

Pretty accurate. This is his show or go year. I'm betting he Lights the Lamp often.

 

[Leafshater67]

Robertson scores 25

 

[rumman]

Robertson scores 25

Definitely could happen, but will it be with the Leafs………

 

[jiggy35]

Liljegren breaks out playing consistent top 4 minutes alongside McCabe

 

[crump]

Dewar is going to be more comfortable. His style of play is custom fit for Berube. He’ll be a pest, relentless on the forecheck and be a surprise 20 goal player as he moves up to the 3rd line. Say hello to Darcy Tucker lite.

 

[Torontonian]

Pacorietty, think he puts up a solid 40 point season, 15 goals, 25A.

 

[LeafSteel]

Puberty can be cruel

Don’t tell Snizz Mitch.

He’s still waiting for it…..

Some good names here.

Intrigued by Murray and Stolarz. I think they both could wrestle the starters job away from Woll.

Desperately wanted Myers when he was still a Flyers prospect and interested to see how he does.

Would also like to see Timmins give more opportunity and it’s looking less and less likely with the RHD additions this offseason.

 

[notdoneyet]

Webber is going to surprise

 

[MCR74]

Matt Murray steals the job from Woll in camp and starts opening night.

And then the main board is flooded with a million threads on how Murray pushes the net off without getting called.

 

[DarkKnight]

I see Knies having a breakout year, really dominating, pots 25+.

 

[Pebble live]

I think Phil Myers will surprise a lot of people this year like Benoit did. He’s big, mean and can contribute offensively. I see this being his last great shot and he will deliver



Who do you think will surprise and make an impact we aren’t expecting?

I'd love to see him make a difference this year. If him and Hakanpaa have good camps there's going to be a backlog on the blue line. Knowing how Treliving and Berube like to build and play their teams I could see lily being the odd man out if he doesn't take a step. The left side is probably pretty well set aside from injuries.

 

[OVO16]

I think Woll moves past his injury concerns and becomes one of the top goalies in the NHL this season

 

[darrylsittler27]

If Tanev stays healthy it's Reilly. He will be stabilized as he was at Team Canada. They were a very effective duo. Reilly hits 65 pts.

 

[The Shadow]

I forgot about that actually. He may benefit from Tanev more than anyone
