Already coming off a 25-goal season, Tyson Foerster has dialed up his production (1.1 to 1.48 goals per 60), has the best actual and expected goal shares among the Flyers’ forwards and is top 20 among forwards in Defensive Rating. It might be time to start treating him as more of a core piece than a side dish, but we wanted an excuse to point out how good he’s been.
15. Utah Mammoth, 12-9-3

The Mammoth got one of their key side dishes back in the lineup just in time for Thanksgiving: Sean Durzi. The puck-moving defender had missed 21 games before his return, and his presence should provide some help to a blue line that needs it.
