NHL Rumors: 3 Players in Line for Massive Seasons in 2022-23
The 2022-23 NHL season is around the corner and the anticipation is brewing. It's shaping up to be another entertaining year in the league as we're currently spoiled with superstars all over the ice. Last season the likes of Jake Oettinger and Cale Makar broke out and burst onto the scene in a major way. Here's three breakout candidates for the 2022-23 season:
Jason Robertson, Dallas Stars
He'll need a contract to play, however Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson is becoming a superstar. Last season he posted 41 goals in 74 games and look for closer to 50 this season.

The Stars are moving from Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn's team to Oettinger and Robertson's and with some more ice-time in 2022-23, look for Robertson to top 90 points. If you get a chance in fantasy, take him early!
Jordan Kyrou, St Louis Blues
Another young player who has burst on the scene of late, Jordan Kyrou is going to be a force this season for the Blues. He's coming off an impressive 75-point season as a 23-year-old and with a bigger role in St Louis this season, look for 90 points to be easily within reach.

Management showed they believe, inking an eight-year extension with Kyrou days ago. This peace of mind will do wonders for him this season and look for Kyrou to come out of the gates flying in a couple of weeks when the regular season opens.
Jack Hughes, New Jersey Devils
This will finally be the season where Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils put himself into the conversation as one of the league's greats. His 56 points in 49 games were impressive, however he'll need to stay healthy and contribute for a full season if Hughes wants to take the stride forward. The Devils should be improved with a couple of key veterans coming in and some stronger goaltending. Hughes has all the skill in the world and look for the 2022-23 season to be his breakout year.
