Lately I've been taking notice that Jason Arnott is having a nice season (statistically). What are some other players you feel have rejuvinated/jump-started their careers?

Gonna have to go with Cory Stillman. 5 goals and 22 assists for 27 points in 43 games last year. This year in 35 games he's already at 18 goals and 20 assists for 38 points. Thinking of comeback player of the year, I think he's gotta be at the top.
Arnott had a pretty decent year last year, and he's on a similar pace this season, so I wouldn't even put him in my top 3.

Ozolinsh. The fact he's skating a regular shift in the NHL at all - let alone being a solid contributor skating 20+ minutes a game on the blue line for a team that should be a contender - that makes him the comeback player of the year to me. Even if it was the booze that sidelined him - "a man who wins a battle against himself is the brave victor of a very great battle." Arnott is having a great season but he always was a good power forward - Ozolinsh by contrast was done, gone, written off for good, period.

Arnott is having a great year, better than expected, maybe, but not exactly "comeback" caliber.
Osgood, considering his age, his perfromance over the past few years, and the fact that he isn't the "#1 goalie" on his team, and he is my Comebacke player of the year so far.

Arnott is having statistically the same season he had last year (in fact he's on pace for fewer goals). Hardly a comeback year.
Joffrey Lupul is my choice for comeback player of the year.
Mike Richards is my choice for breakout player of the year

Just listen to the Toronto Sports Writers. Have to go with Kubina.
Nik Andropov is having a breakout season. Can't be called come back though 'cause he's never been here.

Wow. Did not know Arnott was plugging away so well. How about Ribeiro, Patrick Sharp, Corey Stillman?
Prospal-but he does that every contract year.

Osgood by far. Leads the league in GAA. As a backup!!!

I HATE the Redwings but I have to agree with Osgood. I haven't seen much of him as just thinking of the wings fills me with hate and loathing but little Ive seen and his numbers are good.
