18. Sam Reinhart

Second-generation hockey player (his father was Defenseman Paul Reinhart) Sam Reinhart had quality seasons in Buffalo, where he scored at least 20 Goals five times, but when he was traded to Florida, he took his career (and his new team) to the next level.

Reinhart broke 30 Goals in each of his first two seasons and last year he became the prime sniper for Florida where he led the NHL in Power Play Goals (27), was accurate as he league’s leader in Shooting Percentage, and was second overall in Goals (57).  Florida won their first Stanley Cup, and Reinhart was the man who had the game-winning goal in Game 7.

Reinhart won’t sneak up on anyone this season as he looks to bring the Panthers a second Stanley Cup.
