If you're in it to win, and not just have a good showing, you need to capitalize on a breakout player or two.  Finding these guys is a challenge.  Here are a few players that seem poised to post huge jumps in a numbers over their previous highs:

Offense

Jamie Benn      DAL 

Benn made good progress in his sophomore season, adding 15 points to get to 56. The departure of Richards means Benn will be promoted to the #1 center role and should see increased playing time. He can play all forward positions, which makes him even more valuable. He missed a chunk of time with a bum shoulder in February, but came back stronger than ever down the stretch. Could be a big season for Benn. 

Matt Duchene      COL 

Duchene took a step forward in his 2nd season, adding 3 goals and 9 assists to his already impressive rookie totals. Colorado is quickly becoming his team and this may be the year he breaks out and becomes a point-a-game player.

John Tavares      NYI 

Islander fans have patiently awaited the breakout of their overall #1 pick from two years back. At times he has shown himself to be a top-tier goal scoring threat, but then he goes cold for games at a time. He's just 20 years old and the talent around him is getting better along with him. Expect that breakout season to come in 2011-12. Start the bidding at 40 goals. 

James van Riemsdyk      PHI 

The progression of Van Riemsdyk helped give Holmgren the confidence to deal Carter and Richards this summer. Big things are expected from this emerging sniper. His 5-game scoring streak in the playoffs was just another indicator of what's to come this season. Look for a big breakout year in his 3rd season with the Flyers. 

Jakub Voracek      PHI 

The former #7 overall pick will try and do in Philly what he couldn't accomplish in his limited time with Columbus. He'll do battle with Simmonds and Jagr for top minutes on the right wing. Should he earn those minutes, it's a good bet he'll top his career high of 50 points this season. It could be a breakout season for Voracek. 

Defense

Victor Hedman      TAM 

Hedman didn't dominant the league in his first two seasons the way many had hoped he would, but he has shown significant progress, particularly into the playoffs last season. He's starting to show a little aggression, which should create space for him and his shot. He should show a significant improvement on his 3-goal, 26-point sophomore totals. Keep an eye on him as a potential breakout defenseman this year. 

Jamie McBain      CAR 

McBain met expectations in his rookie season, putting up 30 points for the Canes. As the season wore on, he continued to register 20+ minutes, and should see his role expand this year. Look for him to progress further on the fantasy radar, and has breakout potential. 50 points are within reason, but 40 are more likely. 

Alex Pietrangelo      STL

 If not for a technicality, Pietrangelo could easily have been in the final discussions for the Calder trophy. 11 goals and 43 points were impressive for the giant blueliner in his first true full NHL season. Assuming the Blues score more goals this time around, you can expect a healthy bump in his numbers, making him a prime breakout candidate. 

Goalies

Hard to spot many solid bets here, though some are destined to emerge, based on injuries, etc. 

Jacob Markstrom      FLA 

Markstrom will get a fair shot at earning the number one job in Florida in his rookie season. The promise is there. What you do with it is up to you.
