do you not consider last season to be a breakout season for Saros?

Where’s Dvorak if KK is there he should be

honestly him not being nominated for the vez was embarrassing....i see him being a finalist and maybe winning... great year but more to come from this kid

Dvorak is overated... he was glorified by this website and he at best is a good 3c that'll be playing in a really hard division. i see Evans stealing his job... i very very low on Dvorak. KK however will be playing on a loaded team with one of the best centers in the league

Evans stealing Dvorak' 2C job? Dvorak is a low-end 2C from what we've seen from him so far and Evans is a good 4C who may end up being a decent 3C.

As far as NSH and potential breakout players, I'd list Tolvanen, Kunin, and one of Fabbro/Myers to breakout this season. I think both forwards will put together good seasons with potentially 20+ goals each and 50+ points -- both career highs (Tolvanen may have less points though). As for Fabbro/Myers, whichever guy plays with Josi should be in for a good year. We'll see.

Wheres Puljujarvi? Wheres Bouchard?

Where is Koskinen? He is going to have the biggest rebound vezina year next year

Man...

Dvorak doesn't need a much improved or breakout season IMO...he has been a 45-50 pt C and if we can get 50-55pts + 50-55FO% out of him playing with better wingers and an improved PP that's what a 2C should be

why do you think Bouchard will have a huge year? Oilers have basically given his top 2 pairing away.. He'll get little no no pp time and l3rd pairing minutes... Poolparty isnt good. average at best

ill eat my hat

man....

Dvorak is overrated and will struggle at 2c... Evans will be a really good 3c. i love his game. i can see them moving Dvorak back down to 3c where he actually belongs. Habs arent going to be good this year either way imo

bouchard will take the top RD pairing spot in 30 games. he will take over the powerplay at the same time. You certainly haven't watched puljujarvi play bc hes alot better than average lol was top 5 in defensive stats, and had a 27 goal pace. but please keep hating lol

lol math is hard 15g in 55gp is a 22goal pace... 15/55 =.27 x 82 = 22. He was on pace for 37 points playing the majority of shifts with Mcdavid lol. Yeah dude is elite...

also lmfao at "top 5 in defensive stats"...

Oilers just spent a ton of $$$ on Barrie and Ceci... seems a little naive to believe that esp if Ceci plays like he did in Pittsburgh. Not saying he's not good but be realistic

Yeah I also see him as a 50-55 points guy that would still kinda be a breakout year

Wow AHAHHAHAH you’re clueless…. He’s a 2nd line center who played with 4th liners all his career now he finally have some legitimate players to play with him

MN is slim pickings for breakout players imo.

I have Gaudreau as the breakout player for MN, pretty much by default. I think this year's rookies will their breakout seasons in their 2nd (Boldy) or 3rd (Addison, Rossi) NHL season.

"He’s a 2nd line center who played with 4th liners all his career"... lol and im the clueless one.

Dvorak
46.34cf% 46.38ff% 48.41xgf%... he's never scored more than 40 points EVER in a season... but somehow he's a 2nd line center? quality opinion... he's terrible at defense average at offense and his 1 redeeming quality is face offs.

Eller (played with Panik Sheary Sprong mostly)
55.09CF% 54.12ff% 57.01xgf%
23p in 44gp .... 42 point pace Dvorak was on a 45 point pace. lmfao. Eller would be a low end 2c and hes way better than Dvorak

woof you are claiming 55 points lol...

i actually forgot about Addison.... i love his game. is Rossi healthy? he would be a huge add. i still cant believe he fell that far back in the draft

Rossi played a few Olympic Qualifier games last month.
