I'm going to say Jacob Trouba is going to be a flop in NYC. He doesn't have near the same team support to make him look good as he did in Winnipeg, and while he's a good player, he's not an amazing player. I get the sense he will be exposed a little on a bad team.

Iginla missed the first 3 games of the season in 1999 and went on to set new career highs in goals and points.
So it's only been 20 years since an example I can think of off my head.
