Your breakout players for upcoming season?

[armandtanzarian]

Who do you expect or have that gut feeling, will be breakout players. When i say breakout i mean relative to there prior performances or lack there of.

Mine:

Jared Spurgeon(with Burns gone, he could potentially QB the PP)
Andy Sutton(only because he fell out of flavor in ANH and i expect his solid periphs back in EDM)
Drew Stafford(will be a complete 2-way player this year)
Kyle Okposo(if he can stay healthy I hope he can finally do what most thought he always would)

[Scott]

Dave Bolland
Steve Downie
Erik Karlsson

[Chris]

Colin Wilson: An increased role, additional strength, and a strong preseason should help his game come out a bit more this year.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Same as above.
Nick Foligno: Coaching change could give his career a massive jolt.
Joshua Bailey: He puts it all together this year. Will end the season on the second line.

Miele and Lindstrom.

In the AHL?

[Lee]

Miele will start in the AHL, won't end there. Lindstrom won't see outside of the top 6 on Colorado.

[Nick]

Evander Kane

and if you missed the last 20 games of last season, Jamie Benn.

MSP will be next year.

League wide biggest breakout player isnt even close, it will be Taylor Hall. If you havent watched him this year please do, he is ready and it is going to be fun to watch him this year.

[armandtanzarian]

agree. The Oilers in general will be fun to watch. Such a young team with so much potential. There will be mistakes but damn the hockey will be fast and exciting. That is one of the reason i have such hi hopes for Sutton. He is a big mean man on the rear end with a Veteran presence, who will be tasked with protecting those young stars.

Ive loved this guy the last few years. If he can ever put 82 games together he will break out.
