The Conclusion

If you take a look at the depth players, they do have some stagnant-looking numbers. On the contrary, they will come up clutch in key situations at various times on the forward lines. The key cogs from the Jack Hughes to the Timo Meiers show stability, and certainty in scoring depth that can certainly yield a high-powered offense. Jack Hughes will be the leader in points while Dawson Mercer eclipses 30 goals again and hits 60 points, while Ondrej Palat has a nice bounce-back year in playing over 55 Games Played.
