Ooo, my turn!
Surprises - Tyson Barrie almost doubling his last year goal total (13G, 42A). Jordan Martinook doubled his production. Ullmark ('nuff said). My second round pick, Jack McBain, becoming a regular player, having a decent season (12G, 14A), and eclipsing 300 hits. TVR scoring 7 goals (only 1 last year). The emergence of Tolvanen in Seattle.
Disappointments - I expected Huberdeau to drop off from a record season, but he had less than half of his last year totals. I only had one 20+ goal scorer, Tuch, although Tolvanen was on pace for 20+ (and I think Fabbri was too). Norris coming back only to be out again. Rielly only scoring 4 goals (my lowest goal scoring regular defenseman). Drouin getting 29 points, but only 2 were goals. Tanner Jeannot and Isac Lundestrom only scoring a quarter of their previous years goal production. Hopefully they are just going through sophomore slumps.
For Next Season - I am looking forward to seeing how Huberdeau bounces back, seeing a full season of Bouchard on Edmonton's top PP unit and a full season of Tolvanen in Seattle, and if my first ever draft pick will make it (Scott Perunovich).

You do have some really good young talent Adam. A few good draft picks and you'll be up and running in no time. I'm glad Tolvanen was working out in Seattle, I was hoping that change of scenery would be what he needed. A lot of the guys you mentioned are definitely on track to keep progressing and growing into their games. Good job, be patient and it'll all come together.

Not too many surprises for my team
Konecny with 31 goals though was surprising. wasn't really expecting that with the dumpster fire that is Philly Zucker with a huge rebound getting 27 goals was nice. Hamilton with 22 goals was also pretty satisfying.
Mostly it was disappointments with my guys
Foligno and Johansen regressed more than I expected Lindgren and Carrier when playing had reduced ice time.
Overall most guys were fairly on par
