In this video, I’ll predict 10 defensemen that I expect to break out in the 2023-24 NHL season.

Yep Addison and Deano seemed to but heads a few times last season or so ( hence Jon Klingberg) but IDK the whole story either. There were some rumors such as Spurgeon noticed he seemed aloof or out of it or something and I also heard he likes to night life so. IDK he has potential
Josh Mahura?
I'm thinking Ty Smith may have a breakout season for Pittsburgh. If The Erik Karlson trade happens, and P.O. Joseph goes the other way, I could see him be really strong on the left side for the Pens.
For fantasy I always use Web sim hockey. It's not that well known, but once you get used to it there's no going back to other platforms
Justin Holl is due for a breakout season LOL!
If Bo Byram stays healthy he's gonna be an issue in the league for years to come.
Chychrun might limit Sanderson's ice time on the PP.
IDK about breakout but last year I watched some of that LSHL and i was shocked at how good Letang still was at his age and seeing him again this year man he can skate and is so mobile he puts so many to shame.
If Hall clicks with Bedard and they have a complete line you might see Seth Jones have a big year.
Nils lundkvist and Thomas Harley are good candidates from Dallas to have breakout seasons.
Everyone will think I’m crazy but Arber Xhekaj will have a breakout season
Hey I'm very new to fantasy hockey and hockey in general can anyone tell me if I drafted good or not?

Can my boy Luke Hughes get an honorable mention? With Severson and Graves out seems he'll get a lot of ice time. Also for a future video, how about late round steals that have landed in the top 10 for scoring?
Kinda looks like hes rasmus ristolainen in the video
Soderstrom was a bit of a hot take but I think he's gonna make the lineup.
Really hoping soderstrom can take that step forward and become a full time nhler this season
See how many pts M Matheson put up in how many games.
Luke Hughes
Surprise breakout 2023-24 ? Should to see.
Rasmus Sandin in Washington could be very valuable, especially on the power play last year with Carlsson injured, he showed he could be a QB! 🤩
everyone keeps sleeping on seider not his fault he was paired with chairot half the year but when they switched his d partner to walman they were actually one of the best d pairings in the league the second half the season despite detroits record give him a competent d partner all year and he'll easily be a top 10 dman in the whole league
I'm glad you added Durzi. I think he's gonna blow up this year.
55 to 60 points for Power this year.
K Miller
Like the Sandin thought. Jamie Drysdale?? Back from injury. oh you got him.
Addison had a great offensive year. They said his play deteriorated as the season went on.
Scott Perunovich is another breakout candidate. If he can stay healthy.
