just before malkin got hurt he was heating up but ya he was awful through the first 10-15 games

How would Hintz be underwhelming? The guy is more than a PPG and is our best player.

Oops. Wrong guy

Morrissey and Trouba haven't been the same since they parted ways.

Very true. Both are overpaid and stuck to team's long term. I feel like Hughes will get a similar fate eventually.

I meant to do Hertl but Anismov works too

Neal underwhelming? He has been for the last 2.5 years

I had that feeling it was a miss click.

Considering how Lucic is actually contributing to the third line, and how Neal had been semi-decent in his first year with Edmonton, I guess he works

Hughes is definitely missing Tanev

Surprised there aren't any Blues here. There should be.

Probably some Sabres too. Certainly Krueger.

Malkin was red hot when he got injured, on his way to returning to be a PPG player. He had 24 points in 28 games as is.
I don't know what else you can expect from a guy.

Zibanejad had a slow start but he's kinda hot right now

Not sure why Arty Party is on here. Anisimov is absolutely terrible, but he wasn't really underwhelming, because there was no reason to expect him to be anything but Terrible.

Were?

Whole canuck team has been, honestly. Hard to blame it on just one or two guys.

Fortunately the chunk right before the covid outbreak was really promising. Team was looking really solid (Schmidt finally looking like a top pair D), so I'm hoping the awful start was more a product of the situation and the intense start than the lacking skill of the team.

Can't argue with the guys on the list tho. My addition to the list would be Cody Glass.

Monahan and Tkachuk could be on this team
