Players poised to break out next season

Who are players you believe showed glimpses of their potential this year who are going to break out next year with added experience.

Some players that come to my mind are:

Mathieu Perrault (always been a fan of him, reminds me of Grabovski)
Jake Gardiner (scores 30 points as a rookie D-man and has the poise of a veteran)
Matt Frattin (has PF potential)
Gustav Nyquist (one of my favorite prospects waiting for his opportunity in Detroit)
Corey Schneider (blocked by Luongo)
Vyacheslav Voinov (looks like a steady two-way D-man in the making)
Justin Faulk (One of the lone bright spots for Carolina this year)
Mark Fayne

Fayne isn't gonna break out but he'll get some recognition, he is what he is.

I'd maybe add Boedker to the list and Turris with a full season in Ottawa. Also OEL though he's already Phx's no1 dman so he has broken out.

Brayden Schenn and JVR if they maintain health would be a couple other ones. I think you might see Tyson Barrie or Stefan Elliott on Colorado put up good offensive numbers depending on who the coaches are.

Karlsson should reach about half of his potential next year I think.

The Hedmonster will destroy the NHL next year (I hope).

I couldn't speak for the rest of the league, but JVR and Voracek for the Flyers.

Not his first breakout, but I gotta think Doughty actually works out this summer and comes back ready to wreck the NHL next year.

For the Habs I think Eller and Leblanc will have breakout years.

Hopefully Turris. He got 29 points in 49 games with Ottawa this year, plus I don't know how many ****ing posts.

Doughty/Duchene/P. Kane back to form
B. Schenn
Hall
Connolly
Burmistrov
Kadri
Voracek

I also get the feeling Sgarbossa and Coyle (if they make the Sharks) are going to impress a lot of people

Eller i can see having a break out season hoping for a 25 25 season next year, but i think Leblanc needs another year to round his game out a little more.

I'm pretty sure both of these players were traded from the sharks

From the Oilers, I think it'll be Hall (40-45-85) and RNH (30-55-85).

Although I don't know if that's extreme enough.

How long do we have to wait for JVR to "breakout"? It's getting to the point where it's just sad.

Cory Schneider will be a Vezina Candidate, whether that is with Vancouver or not is yet to be seen.

Tyler Ennis, Matt Duchene, Kyle Okposo, Derek Stepan, Kyle Turris, Jakub Voracek, James VanRiemsdyk, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, TJ Oshie, Victor Hedman, Karl Alzner, and Alex Burmistrov are all good choices.
