What player do you feel is going to breakout in the New Year and crush fan's expectations?

No hockey for the next 3 days, so this is what I'm resorting to to get my hockey fix.

Jonathan Huberdeau. I don't mean logically, I mean Jesus Christ dude you gotta do something
- I'll admit that I don't quite understand what his issues are, but looking at his numbers, he's long overdue for a correction. Yikes.
My vote goes to Trevor Zegras after seeing his goal from last night. He was underperforming at the beginning of the year and then got injured, but with all this time to sit and think during his injury, I think he's gonna tear it up.
For my own team, I'm picking Will Cuylle. Guy's got a scrappiness and scoring ability in him that remind me a little of Tom Wilson, but slightly smaller. Drafted as a 3C, but his ceiling might see him as 1RW next to Kreids and Mika.
Other than the Rangers, I think Moritz Seider breaks out and discovers his offensive game in a big way.
As a Vancouver fan, I think Kuzmenko is going to get over his slump soon. Showed promise in the last couple of games.
