As we wind down the NHL season, it's a time to reflect on where things sit now compared to where we thought they would back in September.
That's a long way of saying we're looking at who surprised us throughout the 2022-2023 season.
These surprises can be players who went well above expectations or came out of the blue to be key contributors to their team's successes. A surprise can also mean a player didn't meet what was expected of them.
We'll take a look at a player from every team, and we'll go through it by division to make it easier to find them on our list.
