Pavel Dorofeyev's goal output could be determined by a small factor

Pavel Dorofeyev has plenty to play for in the upcoming season. He's a restricted free agent after this season and is arbitration-eligible, giving him a chance for a big payday.

That's especially true after coming off a 35-goal season with the Vegas Golden Knights last season. He led the team in this regard and became a surprise winger for a surprise team. Therefore, it's time to pay the man.

With that comes a multitude of factors that will affect his next payday. One of those happens to be how many goals he'll score. Can he come back for an encore or will he wilt under the pressure of heightened expectations?
