San Jose Sharks
Not a lot is anticipated from the San Jose Sharks this upcoming season, because the crew can be counting on a mixture of younger, freshly drafted forwards and a hodge-podge of wingers. Former Shark Barclay Goodrow can be making his return to the Bay Space after spending two seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning and three with the New York Rangers. His manufacturing dipped previously season, going from 31 factors within the 2022-2023 common season to 12 within the following. Nevertheless, as somebody who spent six seasons with the group previously, he’ll be referred to as upon to assist lead this younger group of gamers.
A Canuck for under 10 common season (and 7 postseason) video games, Tyler Toffoli hasn’t fairly been in a position to hunker down in a specific spot for a brief time frame. Since leaving Vancouver, he’s signed with the Montréal Canadiens, been traded to the Calgary Flames, been traded once more to the New Jersey Devils, and was flipped as soon as extra to the Winnipeg Jets. Now that he’s locked himself right into a four-year cope with the Sharks, hopefully, having a steady place to remain will let his offence flourish. With one among Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, or Alex Wennberg as his heart, Toffoli may decide up one other 40-50 factors for San Jose.
The seventh total decide within the 2021 NHL Draft, William Eklund notched a good 45 factors in 80 video games within the 2023-2024 common season. He got here second in targets on the crew with 16 and appears to show himself as a pressure to take care of on the Sharks’ wings.
Wings and facilities that will seem within the Sharks’ wing depth chart are Justin Bailey (5–9–14, 59 GP), Thomas Bordeleau (6–5–11, 27 GP), Ty Dellandrea (2–7–9, 42 GP), Collin Graf (0–2–2, 7 GP), Mikael Granlund (12–48–60, 69 GP), Carl Grundstrom (8–4–12, 50 GP), Danil Gushchin (1–1–2, 4 GP), Luke Kunin (11–7–18, 77 GP), Scott Sabourin (0–0–0, 3 GP), Givani Smith (1–3–4, 36 GP), and Fabian Zetterlund (24–20–44, 82 GP).
Seattle Kraken
Typically heralded as a ‘crew filled with second-lines,’ the Seattle Kraken have a wealthy set of wingers however are sorely missing that breakout star who can put up strong 90-to-100-point seasons. This doesn’t imply that they lack depth, nevertheless, as their ranks embody the likes of Jared McCann and Oliver Bjorkstrand.
McCann led his membership in targets and factors final season with 29 and 62, respectively. His offensive manufacturing has soared since becoming a member of the Kraken, with a 40-goal marketing campaign within the 2022-2023 season being his best. He’ll proceed to be a key a part of Seattle’s offence, possible potting 25-30 targets.
A primary-time All-Star in 2024, Bjorkstrand earned the title as a result of a career-high 59-point effort within the common season. He led his crew in assists with 39 and got here second in targets with 20. Whereas he can simply be relied on for above 40 factors every year, he may see his manufacturing fluctuate if he’s positioned on a line with newcomer Chandler Stephenson.
Seattle’s present depth alongside the wings consists of Andre Burakovsky (7–9–16, 49 GP), Jordan Eberle (17–27–44, 78 GP), Tye Kartye (11–9–20, 77 GP), Max McCormick (0–0–0, 1 GP), Jaden Schwartz (13–17–30, 62 GP), Brandon Tanev (7–9–16, 66 GP), and Eeli Tolvanen (16–25–41, 81 GP).
Vancouver Canucks
With wingers like Brock Boeser, Nils Höglander, Jake DeBrusk, and Daniel Sprong, the Canucks can anticipate a plethora of a specific factor — targets. Whereas the decision remains to be undecided on whether or not Brock Boeser will attain the 40-goal mark once more this upcoming season, don’t be stunned if he nonetheless tallies over 35 tucks. After a profitable season as J.T. Miller’s essential linemate, it appears to be like as if the American duo can be taking part in collectively as soon as once more. As for who will play alongside them, the query stays unanswered. Names like Nils Höglander, Pius Suter, and Danton Heinen have been tossed round.
The consensus appears to be that the Canucks’ large free agent signing, Jake DeBrusk, can be taking a spot on Elias Pettersson’s line. Having put up 19 targets and 21 assists final season, Vancouver is searching for DeBrusk to return to his near-30-goal self — one thing that will very properly depend upon his heart’s performances. Anticipated to spherical out this line is Nils Höglander, who confirmed flashes of chemistry alongside Pettersson final season. The pesky, high-motor ahead scored all of his 24 targets on even energy within the 2023-2024 season.
Signed to a one-year contract on July twentieth, Sprong brings back-to-back over-40-point seasons. It’s unknown the place within the lineup he’ll begin his season, however regardless, he’ll deliver at the least 20 targets to an already-potent Vancouver offence. He’ll sustain the 30-40-point tempo of a bottom-six led by Conor Garland and Dakota Joshua.
Anticipate to see Arshdeep Bains (0–0–0, 8 GP), Phil Di Giuseppe (5–5–10, 51 GP), Conor Garland (20–27–47, 82 GP), Danton Heinen (17–19–36, 74 GP), Dakota Joshua (18–14–32 63 GP), Kiefer Sherwood (10–17–27, 68 GP), and Pius Suter (14–15–29, 67 GP) on the Canucks’ wings this season.
Vegas Golden Knights
Following a shocking first-round exit within the 2024 NHL Playoffs, the Vegas Golden Knights are heading into the 2024-2025 season with a blended bag of youthful and older forwards. Vegas’ Captain, Mark Stone, hasn’t performed a single full season with the Golden Knights since he was traded again in 2019. Regardless of taking part in 56 video games final season, the ahead nonetheless registered 16 targets and 37 assists. With a virtually full offseason spent recovering from his most up-to-date harm, a lacerated spleen, a wholesome Stone may present the Golden Knights with a strong 60-point season.
Acquired by Vegas alongside goalie Akira Schmidt, Alexander Holtz can be lacing up for the Golden Knights for the primary time on October ninth towards the Colorado Avalanche. The previous seventh total decide performed his first full NHL season in 2023-2024, notching a powerful 16 targets and 12 assists. He’s projected to play alongside William Karlsson and fellow 2020 first-round draft decide Brendan Brisson. After settling into the Golden Knights’ system, in addition to adjusting to new linemates, anticipate the identical vary of 20-30 factors from Holtz this upcoming season.
One other younger newcomer to the Golden Knights, Victor Olofsson, involves Vegas with one thing to show. His spectacular rookie marketing campaign within the 2019-2020 season, which noticed him notch 20 targets and 22 assists in 56 video games, paved the way in which for expectations that weren’t fairly met together with his former crew, the Buffalo Sabres. Although he scored 28 targets within the 2022-2023 season, he registered seven in 51 video games the season after. He’s anticipated to start out the season with former Sabres teammate Jack Eichel as his heart — one thing that might make a 30-goal season sound affordable for him.
Vegas’ wings are anticipated to be rounded out by Ivan Barbashev (19–26–45, 82 GP), Brendan Brisson (2–6–8, 15 GP), Grigori Denisenko (0–0–0, 6 GP), Pavel Dorofeyev (13–11–24, 47 GP), Tomáš Hertl (17–21–38, 54 GP), Brett Howden (8–11–19, 72 GP), Keegan Kolesar (8–10–18, 79 GP), Mason Morelli (3–1–4, 9 GP), and Jonas Rondbjerg (1–2–3, 20 GP).
