Nick Palmieri has the size, hands and skating ability to become a productive NHL power forward.

The winger impressed last season, playing alongside Ilya Kovalchuk and Travis Zajac. Additionally, he scored nine goals and 17 points through 43 games which indicates he could score 20 at some point in his NHL career. Expect him to start the season on the third line with the opportunity of moving up a line.

“He needs to use that size on a regular basis. We’ll see if he can skate at the NHL level.”

Mancari could be labeled a quad-A player following another poor showing at a training camp. The right wing scored a goal and eight points through 20 games with the Sabres last season. He also produced 32 goals and 64 points in only 56 games with the Rochester Americans. If he fails to make the team this year, it may be his last opportunity at age 26.

Drewiske has been a player who, he has some reads on the offensive part. He jumped up in the play last night a couple times to put a stressed attack on the defending team. That’s a good thing. That’s what we like. So we’ll just keep moving on, through these next games, and see how it all works.

Drewiske could see an uptick in playing time but won't light the lamp with any frequency. He never scored more than five goals in any professional season making a breakout at 26 completely unlikely.

His skating is really good. I know he had the operation and went through the time he missed last season. He worked extremely hard in the offseason to get himself back on top of his game. He has come in and proven that to us, that he’s in great shape. I thought, last night, he made some outstanding plays on some breakouts coming out of his own end, making plays off the boards. That’s as good as it gets, on four or five of those looks. So, his game has been good.

Certainly sounds like Hunter will make the team. Last season he only produced four points in 17 games but topped 10 goals six times and 20 goals twice over his seven-year career. Expect him to sign with the Kings shortly.

But I’m very happy with how Loktionov has gone through the training camp also

Loktionov likely starts the season with the Manchester Monarchs. Last season he scored four goals and seven points over 19 games with the team but scored eight goals and 31 points through 34 games in the AHL. Expect him to get a call when one of the team's four centermen get hurt.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?

There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.

What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?

Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.

In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.

How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?

NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.

Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).

Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.

Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?

Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).

Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
