Sure but some players had “career years” as in “the best so far in their career” because they are still young and improving. They won’t be career years as in “the best in their whole career including going forward”. I think Andersson, Hanifin, Kylington will all improve. Vladar of course had a career year because he’s a rookie. Mangiapane likely has upward growth in him. Maybe Tkachuk does as well if he improves his skating.
As for the others, I don’t know that this was a defining year for Tanev. He is who is is IMO. Same with Gudbranson.
It may well be peak Gaudreau and Lindholm and Zadorov.
