In one of the easier picks of these awards predictions, Kyle Connor should certainly be the frontrunners in the points and goals categories for the Jets this season.


Connor is coming off of a 34-goal season despite missing a large chunk of the season. With the upcoming season fast approaching it's safe to say that with a good training camp and for Connor to stay healthy, he is more then likely to get higher totals in both departments.
He's also been the Jets' leading scorer in two of the past three seasons, and while someone like Mark Scheifele could challenge for that title, it seems likely that Connor's past successes could be an indicator of what to expect. If healthy, he should be expected to hit the 40-goal mark and also come in somewhere around 80 points.
Connor is a dynamic offensive threat. His speed allows him to create space on the ice. He's poised with the puck and has the ability to create his own offense. This offense is key to pushing the Jets to the next level, and when paired properly in the forward group, he can be very effective at being that finisher on a dynamic line. If that falls into place and he looks like his past self, it's safe to bet that Connor settles in at the top of the Jets' offensive leaderboards.
