What rookies are poised to make impacts next season?

In your opinion, who are the players that will not only make their respective clubs, but have a big impact as well.

Thinking 50+ points for a forward and 30+ points for a D-man, something around that. Or a powerhouse defensive D-man, big time goalie.

My personal opinion is:

1.Jonathan Huberdeau
2.Vladamir Tarasenko
3.Dougie Hamilton
4.Mikael Granlund
5.Nail Yakupov
6.Ryan Murray
7.Sven Baertschi

Pretty much in that order.

1.Jonathan Huberdeau
2.Mark Scheifele
3.Nail Yakupov
4.Mikael Granlund
5.Sven Baertschi
6.Ryan Murray
7.Jakob Silfverberg

Yeah, I meant to put Silfverberg in there as a (legitimate) homer pick.

I think Yakupov is going to light it up.

Schultz might be the rookie leader in points for d-men.

Could be, but I doubt it. Not to the tune of 30+ points, at least.

Jacob Silverberg. That's what he wants to be called. Easier for the MC in Vegas to pronounce

I think Yakupov will simply not get as much ice time, and his totals will suffer. That's the problem with being the 3rd 1st overall pick in a row.

1. Mikael Granlund
2. Jakob Silfverberg
3. Jonathan Huberdeau
4. Nail Yakupov
5. Sven Baertschi

Brendan Smith, Brandon Gormley, Chris Kreider, Ryan Murphy

Good call, I forgot about Kreider. If they don't trade for Nash or anything like that he'll get a real shot in the top-six.

Yeah, forgot about him too.

don't forget about Nyquist

Girgenssons might be given a shot at the NHL.

Brad Peltz gets my vote.

Still think Yakupov though.
