Jake Guentzel

Let’s start this list off with a returning face who still has that shiny, new car effect attached to him.

Jake Guentzel is coming off quite an impressive rookie campaign. 33 points in 40 games isn’t something easy. And not to mention his league leading 13 goals in 25 games. He impressed many last season and it’s crazy to think that he did all that in half a season.

Well this year he’ll be playing in his first full season. If he stays healthy, he may be able to double his point total. 60 points isn’t hard to reach given his production rate in the past, and just the thought of having him play that good is exciting. Be sure to watch for Guentzel to light it up this season.
