The Cannon Top 25 Under 25 — #18 T.J. Tynan

Quick — who led the Cleveland Monsters in regular season scoring in 2015-16? No, this is not a trick question premised upon the franchise’s name change. It was T.J. Tynan, the Blue Jackets’ 3rd round pick (#66 overall) in 2011 — a pick they received from Ottawa for Nikita Filatov. He managed that feat while scoring only 6 goals, but excelling in assists, with 40 — 11 more than the next player, Michael Chaput. His 46 points in 76 games nosed out Chaput (45) and Daniel Zaar (43) for the scoring honor. Of course, his 76 games was also 25 more than Oliver Bjorkstrand, who appeared in 12 NHL games last season.
