Toronto Maple Leafs and Atlantic Division Potential Breakouts

Florida Panthers

The Florida Panthers have a lot of veterans on their team, so there are not many choices for picking which young player will have a breakout season.

Anton Lundell

Anton Lundell is a first-round pick of the Panthers. He was selected 12th overall in the 2020 NHL draft. He had a decent rookie season (2021-22) with 18 goals and 26 assists for 44 points in 65 games. Since then, he's failed to record more than 13 goals or 35 points a season. Lundell could potentially be a 20+ goal player who should be able to reach 50+ points.

Adam Boqvist

Adam Boqvist signed a one-year deal with the Panthers for the league minimum ($775,000). The Panthers will be Boqvist's third team in six seasons since being drafted 8th overall in the first round of the 2018 NHL draft by the Chicago Blackhawks.

He spent two seasons with the Blackhawks (2019-20 to 2020-21) and three with the Columbus Blue Jackets (2021-22 to 2023-24). The soon-to-be 24-year-old defenseman is looking for a fresh start and hopefully, a breakout season with the Panthers.

Tobias Bjornfot

Tobias Bjornfot has played in parts of five NHL seasons and has 15 points in 120 games. The 23-year-old only played in four games last season. However, with the Panthers losing Oliver Ekman-Larsson (Toronto) and Brandon Montour (Seattle) in free agency, he hopes to become a regular everyday NHL defenseman this season. He will not be guaranteed playing time, but if he does, now is the time to have a breakout season.
