Last year Jason Spezza surprised everyone by being a significant contributor and having a pretty good season with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Every season there is at least one player on every team that turns out to be a pleasant surprise. For the Toronto Maple Leafs, it was Jason Spezza last season and Tyler Ennis in the 2018-19 season.
