Brandon Montour

Montour found a new level during the 2022-23 campaign, setting new career highs with 16 goals and 73 points in 80 games, nearly doubling his previous career high of 37 points. After totaling 30 power-play points through six NHL seasons, he racked up 33 points with the man advantage last season alone. He took on a much larger role with the Panthers, averaging 24:08 of ice time per game and racking up 242 shots on goal with 107 PIM. Montour is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery and could miss the start of the 2023-24 campaign. Assuming the absence isn't drastic, the 29-year-old will be in great position for another 60-plus points as a top-four blueliner in one of the league's top-scoring lineups.
