NHL 2025-26 Shockers: Game-Changing Trades and Unexpected Stars Set to Rewrite the Season
Boston Bruins
Jeremy Swayman will enter the Olympic conversation
Swayman rebounds after a career-worst year. He proves 2024-25 was an aberration by being what he’s always been: square to pucks, good at tracking shots, unpredictable with his save selection and competitive on everything. — Fluto Shinzawa
Buffalo Sabres
Zach Benson will break out with 60 points
Benson was second on the Sabres in individual high-danger chances last season at all strengths and yet he finished the season with 10 goals. He’s still only 20 years old, but in his third season in the NHL and now getting a chance to play on a line with Tage Thompson and Josh Norris. He generates so many chances due to his forechecking and playmaking that it’s easy to see the breakout season coming. Sixty points might seem ambitious, but he has the talent and situation to hit that number. — Matthew Fairburn
