#8 Jakub Vrana

We went younger here on this list as Jakub Vrana is a promising left winger with a bright future ahead of him. He’s been an impact player the last three seasons and enjoyed a breakout season the last two years. Vrana made his debut in the 2016-17 season and had three goals and three assists for six points as he split time between Washington and Hershey. He played in 21 games that season.

The next year was his rookie season and he scored 13 goals and added 14 assists for 27 points. He also had some clutch goals in the playoffs. He had one in Game 5 against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round that put the Caps one win closer to eliminating their enemies. He took a pass from Alex Ovechkin and we all know the rest.

He also scored the game opening goal in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final helping the Caps win their first ever Stanley Cup championship.

The next season he scored 24 goals and added 23 assists for 47 points. Later in the summer he was signed to a two year bridge deal to stay in D.C. He showed this past season that he is well worth the money as he scored 25 goals and added 27 assists for 52 points.

We can’t wait to see V have an even better season next year in hopes that he earns an even bigger raise.
