Sometimes, a fresh start is all someone needs to take off.
Take Elias Lindholm, for example. Lindholm was a solid contributor for the Carolina Hurricanes, averaging out around a 40-45 point pace every season. Before the 2018-19 season, he was traded to the Calgary Flames, where he quickly broke out into a scoring frenzy. He’s scored at a near point-per-game pace since the trade, earning 202 points in 229 games.
In a more recent instance, Taylor Hall had a quick return to form following a trade from the Buffalo Sabres. Before joining the Boston Bruins, the former MVP’s season was one to forget.
