Biggest surprise per team

I’d say a bigger surprise from TB would be Gourde or Cirelli.. some of us had pretty high expectations on Point before this year.

Yeah Tampa was a hard one. Cirelli is a surprise for sure but he only played 18 games, I would love to see more of him. I had to chose between Gourde and Point, and I seen Gourde play in the QMJHL and I knew he would deliver some days, and it looks like this day have come.

Habs biggest surprise being Jeff Petry? Sure, 42pts is a career record, but he was forced to be our de-facto #1D with Weber down most of the season. Anyway, his advanced stats showed he can take on that #1D role, but not as effectively as a LEGITIMATE #1D.

The real surprises were Carey Price (negative) and Brendan Gallagher (positive). Really, nobody expected for the latter to have a comeback season that strong after the injury trouble he had last season. Everyone was saying his career was over (obviously not).

Biggest surprise from Toronto would be McElhinney, not Reilly. We knew how good Rielly was, but McElhinney has been pure wizardry this year

Could also make a case for Riley Nash for Boston. He had 6 less points than Heinen, but he played up and down the line-up, filled in for Bergeron when he was out and his production this year is double what it normally is.
