Tanner Jeannot
The Los Angeles Kings traded for Tanner Jeannot this offseason and the pressure he is under is not so much from the team or because of the role. The reason that Jeannot makes this list is because he will want to put behind a forgetful run with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Jeannot had a breakout season with the Nashville Predators during the 2021-22 season with 24 goals and 17 assists. The Lightning believed he was a player who was only scratching the surface and traded a lot to the Predators during the following season, including a first round pick.
However, he would end up playing only 75 games over a season and a half with only 18 points and a +/- of -16. The Lightning decided to cut their losses and traded him to the Kings for a 2024 fourth-round and 2025 second-round pick.
Jeannot is now in the final year of his contract and if he wants to maximize free agency, he can do that with a big season with the Kings. This would help teams chalk up his time with the Lightning as nothing more than a bad fit.
