N. Bonino: FFF
Might be the worst player in the NHL right now.
J. Brodzinski: C
He is what he is.
F. Chytil: W
W. Cuylle: B
A promising player whose IQ has stood out.
B. Goodrow: F
Sucks.
K. Kakko: D-
Didn't get an F because he's an upgrade on the F's but yeah, he has 3 points.
C. Kreider: A-
He's honestly having a normal one. The problem on that line is Zibanejad.
A. Lafrenière: B-
Still has warts but an extremely promising season.
A. Panarin: A+
Yeah.
T. Pitlick: C-
He's an actual good 4th liner.
V. Trocheck: A
Our 1C but that's not just a Zibanejad dig. Trocheck is good.
J. Vesey: A
Meeting expectations as much as anyone on the team sans Panarin.
B. Wheeler: F
I understood the signing but the guy just hit a wall. Find a replacement and cut your losses.
M. Zibanejad: D
Had it with him at 5v5.
A. Fox: A
See Kreider. Having a normal one but guys he plays with aren't.
E. Gustafsson: A
I keep seeing comments that he slowed down. He didn't. He just went from our 2D to our 5D when Fox came back.
Z. Jones: D
Exists.
R. Lindgren: D-
Outside of Bonino, debatably the worst offensive player in the NHL.
K. Miller: B+
Has warts but would be considered a top pairing D with an NHL partner.
B. Schneider: A-
The most improved player on the roster.
J. Trouba: FFFF
Right there with Bonino and Wheeler at 9 times the salary. This is our 1D.
J. Quick: A-
He's cool.
I. Shesterkin: C
He's there
C. Drury: B
I don't think he had a bad off-season. The bad players he signed, I understood. They just regressed. Draft was good.
P. Laviolette: F
By every objective measure, Jacob Trouba is our #1 defenseman, not Adam Fox. That, by itself, gets Lavi an F. He should probably be in jail too.
@EdJovanovski you know what to do. It's the only argument I need, Shawn.
Assistants: B+
I don't know the ins and outs enough to judge each as an individual. I like that faceoffs improved. If nothing else, I don't have to read about it. Allaire made Quick good again. The worst parts of our roster are unteachable.
S. Rosen: A+
We don't know how lucky we are.
J. Micheletti: F
F is just for the hair.
J. Giannone: A
He's a good straight man.
S. Valiquette: A-
Mostly excellent analysis. Requires a good straight man. Sometimes has an agenda.
