Warren Foegele

Of the players on this list, Warren Foegele is probably the one least likely to reach a career-high but he has shown over the past three seasons steady improvement. In 2022-23 with the Edmonton Oilers, he had 13 goals in 67 games before registering 20 goals in 82 games with the Oilers the season after.

The Los Angeles Kings saw enough in Foegele to sign him as a free agent and what was one of the better moves Rob Blake made in his final year as general manager. The great news for the Kings was that Foegele once again improved on that season total with 24 goals, with 22 of them coming in 5-on-5 situations.

Now entering his second season with the Kings and playing under Jim Hiller, Foegele has a chance to get off to a fast start and should be able to get over 25 goals this season.

Alex Turcotte

The player who has the best chance to set career-best marks in multiple categories is Alex Turcotte, as he enters his second season in the NHL. Last year, he finished with nine goals and 16 assists while playing around 12 minutes per game.

It wouldn't be surprising to see his time on ice go up slightly and get closer to 14 minutes per game. If that is the case and playing with Joel Armia and Corey Perry (once he is back), there is no reason that he can't surpass his 25 point season total from last season.
