When a player surpasses expectations by a great deal, it can be hard to totally buy-in on a repeat.
Consider William Karlsson of the Vegas Golden Knights. After being a second-round pick back in 2011 and never scoring more than nine goals in a season over parts of three campaigns with the Anaheim Ducks and Columbus Blue Jackets, he lit the lamp 43 times last season with his new team. It's OK to be a little bit skeptical about Karlsson repeating or even nearing a repeat of such a ridiculously successful year.
