Who's gonna have their Breakout Season this Year?

[Dynamite Time]

Casey Mittelstadt

 

[bukwas]

I want to say Raanta but last season probably makes him ineligible.
So i will go with Meier.

 

[The Mentalist]

Bahaha classic tws. Good one

This year hes got a man crush for Barzal and the Isles so don't be surprised if he starts a thread on how Barzal can be the 2nd best player after McDavid if lights it up in a preseason game.

 

[sabresEH]

I’ll say Joel Armia

 

[wabagee]

I’ll say Joel Armia

I could see that, he played pretty well on a stacked Jets team. He’ll get a lot more opportunity on his new team.

 

[maxb221]

Nolan Patrick

 

[sabresEH]

I could see that, he played pretty well on a stacked Jets team. He’ll get a lot more opportunity on his new team.

Exactly my thoughts. Definitely a player that can produce if given the chance. Pretty sound defensively so Julien should trust him with bigger minutes.

 

[LABound]

Ekblad flirts with 60 pts
Tuch 30G
Athanasiou 50+ PTS
D.Strome 55+PTS
Duchene career year if he gets traded early

 

[Tage2Tuch]

Maroon I think does better then he ever has with the blues if he’s in top six.

lol breaking out nearly 10 years into his career!! Woohoo. He'll never be more than a 30 goal guy. Wouldn't hold your breath.

Sharks fans got a glimpse of the honeymoon period and expect him to be something else. You guys warned us about e Kane and I for a moment thought he could change but it ended up you were right. He needed to be on the top line to get 16 goals after that he had 3 .....in the next 21 games.

Anyway it’s a good thing sharks fans got Karlsson because your right Kane will be nothing more then a 30g guy if that...not that it’s a bad thing but those expecting him to put up 40 or 50 I just have to lol.

He needed eichel, (not being biased the stats showed when with him he had 35 pts in 39 games and when not just 6 in the next 21 (don’t take my word for it look at all his goals this year as a sabre and look who is doing the work) and San Jose has two damn good Centers so is it possible with Karlsson he racks up a lot, sure. He just isn’t going to turn super human like some of them think.

 

[Asimplehockeyfan]

I could see Noah hanifin hitting 50 points this year. Patrick and galchenyuk are the 2 who I see breaking out

 

[BM14]

Where do they rank in shots allowed?

I'd give my goalie clear shots on net from low danger areas all day long.

 

[MardyBum]

This year hes got a man crush for Barzal and the Isles so don't be surprised if he starts a thread on how Barzal can be the 2nd best player after McDavid if lights it up in a preseason game.

He's been high on Barzal for years. The obsession over TWS is both hilarious and creepy.

 

[Jozay]

Auston Matthews.

 

[Saintb]

Jack Roslovic. Book it.

 

[Romang67]

I'd give my goalie clear shots on net from low danger areas all day long.

Where did they rank in scoring chances against?

 

[MardyBum]

I'd give my goalie clear shots on net from low danger areas all day long.

I hope you're not suggesting this is what the Leafs do

 

[Filthy Dangles]

TOmas HErtl and Timo Meier are going to breakout and really give the sharks an elite offense

 

[Anders Cain]

Tyson jost and Sam girard for colorado.. Both have looked good in training camp and seem poised to take it to the next level

 

[Slyfox]

Hanifan, Hertl imo. Also, expect Lindholm to breakout as well.

 

[robbieberns]

I’m going to say any one of Brock McGinn/Michael Ferland/Valentin Zykov. As things stand, these guys are your 1, 2, and 3 to start the season on the left flank. Now there’s a chance we bolster the squad with a new LW/C, trading D for O, but even if that happens you’re still looking at top 6 minutes for one of these guys next year.

 

[Bleeker]

Nikita Scherbak is ready for the next step.
Last season he was a monster in the AHL and showed real great stuff with the Habs.
If he gets quality ice time and some PP i think he'll get 50-55 points

 

[Viktor Vaughn]

I could see that, he played pretty well on a stacked Jets team. He’ll get a lot more opportunity on his new team.

Im going to miss Armia, his puck skills and defensive awareness were a treat to watch.

 

[robertmac43]

Timo Meier is notching 30 goals this year, he's poised for a breakout.

 

[robertmac43]

Dylan Strome,

I cannot see this one happening. He has had amazing point totals at every level so one would think he should make it happen in the NHL, I just don't think his skating is there and that he will get eaten alive at even strength. Give it a couple more years

 

[bennylundholm]

Patrick Laine: 55 goals
