Erik Haula

2018-2019 Season: 7 points (2 goals 5 assists)

2019-2020 Season projection: 37 points (15 Goals 22 Assists)

Haula was another underrated signing for Don Wadell & Co. this offseason. He is coming off a knee injury, which is why his point production was so low last year. The season before that, however, Erik had 29 goals and 26 assists for 55 points. If Erik can replicate any type of performance from the 2017-2018 season, expect him to get somewhere upwards of 37 points this year. Haula also just may be the fastest skater on the team which, in return, could lead him to a lot of opportunites.
