Next year breakouts?

[Godin]

I watched a few games earlier in the season and was really impressed.

I made a mental note of it.

I could see Edmonton is impressed by the number of minutes they are giving him.

John Gibson - ANA
Petr Mrazek - DET
Teemu Pulkkinen - DET
Dumba - MIN
Gostisbehere - Philly (that blue line is deplete of elite offensive weapons) has MDZ to pass in charts

Eventually people will figure out Andersen is just simply better

Took a few years for people to figure out Quick is better than Bernier.

Also, Gibson is turning out to be a fine band-aid-boy in training.

RNH - 84 pts

Remember when Crosby got 84 pts this season and the Art Ross winner was 87 pts?

I am going to bookmark this and come back to it at this time next year to see how close I am to my prediction.

To make it more interesting, why don't you make your own prediction so that we can see who is closest.

I wouldn't be counting Gibson out!

Not counting him out but I don't think he'll be nearly as good as the hype.

You forgot Turris. I think he's gonna explode for 35-55-90.

[Big Baby]

You forgot Turris. I think he's gonna explode for 35-55-90.

That's ambitious.

I wouldn't bet on that. I can see a breakout, maybe 70-75 but 90?? That's a lot.

I'm guessing you're joking

Obvious joke. He's talking to tequilamonster, infamous Turris critic.

I see what you did there! Lol

Kevin Hayes
Craig Smith
Mark Scheifele
Elias Lindholm

I think Smith pushes 30 goals which constitutes a breakout from his prior numbers
Hayes has a ton of upside and he may supplant Stepan/Brassard when all is said and done. Even sooner if Stepan becomes hurt (again)
Scheifele could approach 65 points
Lindholm has very players that can challenge his ice time, I also like Rask but don`t think he would `breakout` until the season after next

[Dennis4022]

Will only list who was not mentioned yet, but is on my radar:

Cody Ceci
Justin Schultz
Adam Lowry
Brett Connolly
Chris Kreider


I also have a feeling that Zack Kassian will start producing, but i know that this is a very keen prediction.

[Southpaw20]

I like the Larsson pick. Couple of goaltenders I'll throw in:
Allen-think he builds off a long playoff run (assumption) and takes over the starters role in STL.

Hellebuyck-bit of a long shot but think he takes advantage of an injury and or poor play to take over the Jet net in the second half of the season, leading the Jets to another playoffs
