One year into a six year contract, Miles Wood proved to be a serviceable bottom six forward with incredible speed that contributed to a solid third line, but also an incredibly streaky player for long stretches of the season.

It's time for the best topic of conversation, Cale Makar. The best defenseman in the NHL set a new career high in points and was nominated for the Norris once again, yet some would consider this past season to be a down year for Cale Makar. What can we expect from Makar in his 6th full NHL season? Could 100 points be on the table? How about a second Norris?

Mikko Rantanen is fresh off a second consecutive 100+ point season and a bonafide top 5 winger, but is still a point of contention while entering the final year of his contract. Was last year actually a down year for Rantanen, or is that narrative unfair? Is a third straight 100 point season and a return to 50 goals in the cards for next season? Will that contract extension be signed before the season begins?
