Your breakout players for upcoming season?

[Chuck Norris]

Weiss - about time he live up to his potential
Brouwer - possible top 6 minutes in WSH could mean breakout
Cogliano - new team; new opportunities; shot at 2nd line pivot
Schneider - is this the year he becomes a legit #1 and gets traded?

1) 60 point forward playing with plugs like Booth.
2) Not 100% full-time minutes.
3) Koivu sucks
4) When Luongo chokes, Schneider is always ready to take the reigns.

Zac Dalpe... need I say more? I'm fortunate to have kept him all these months. Say what you like, but even NHL has come up with an article including him as one of the top 10 fantasy breakout players

1) Booth & Horton -> both of whom are 1st line capable wingers.
2) You need to earn 100% full-time first line minutes, he was given the shot and it didn't work
3) Arguable, but the oldie vet line w/Blake & Teemu seems to be set. Saku & Teemu have nice chemistry as well.
4) Luongo is a LOT better then Schneider, and has the deal in place which ensures him as their #1 for some time yet.

I had him for a bit

[Scott]

Quick List:
-Cody Hodgson
-Jan Mursak
-Nino Niederriter
-Time Erixon

Somewhat
-Matt Fraser- he won't be making much noise on the NHL level, but will establish himself in the AHL making solid strides to NHL.

Bummer.. out 3 months

I dont think Schnieder beating out Luongo is in question as much as Schnieder being dealt and Eddie Lack taking over as backup

I forgot to add Nick Palmieri to my list.

Alexander Burmistrov
Jonathon Bernier
David Savard
Nick Palmieri (new addition)

[bills09]

Gabriel Dumont looking like he may make the Habs out of camp..
Very impressed with the kids game in camp.

[hong57]

Eberle (looks like he's gonna be ppg player real soon)
Filatov (looks very promising, 40 pts should be no questions)
Turris (let's wait and see where he plays...but i see him played his last game in phx)
Perron (when he gets healthy)
Zack Smith (I think he can get 30 points while getting massive periperhies)
Quincey (can't get worse than 1 assist in 20 something games)

[MSP4LYFE]

Mikhail Grabovski - Continues to improve season after season, this will be the year he cements himself as a legit #1 NHL centerman.

agree
well not necessary no.1 but close.. i like him going to the net and get the garbage goals,... he used to just score the highlight reel ones seems he found what it takes to succeed in this league... we paid what? a 2nd? hahaha
i wish filatov realise too and becomes the next garbo

[Shep]

Grabo looked simply awesome last night. He does it all.

Filatov will never be like Grabovski around the net. Going to the net hard and throwing your entire body at loose pucks is not something that can just be picked up, it is an inherent recklessness that certain players have, and others don't. Contrary to your opinion, Grabovski has ALWAYS played that way, it isn't something he just picked up. It's what makes him such a good player, but at the same time a great injury risk.

He always looks awesome, it is becoming increasingly more difficult not to anoint him the best player on the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Totally agree!! He brings it all, imo.

[KapG]

Grabo has been my fav leaf since he joined the squad a few years ago.

Kids got all the grit and heart in the world and the skill to go with it. Such a deadly combination.

except for size...
