In a year with so many good players, There are a few guys who seem to have taken steps backward in their development.

John Negrin - ECHL to start the season, and its doubtful that he sits higher than 8th on the Ward's depth chart. He has no points and is +2 in 3 games.

Chris Breen - Feaster loves this guy. He's big, but he's not very good. In 12 games, he's a -8 with no points on a team that's tied for first in the west.

Carter Bancks - He was scoring at a near point a game clip last season when healthy, this year he's -1 with no points in 10 games.

Jordan Henry - Made a big splash in training camp, but since being cut has not registered a point in 14 games. He is +2 with 22 SOG. He hasn't been bad defensively, but that's a pretty big pointless streak.

Ryan Howse - still struggling to translate that WHL scoring into pro hockey. Injuries have him struggling as well. 0 points in 6 games, -2, and 2 SOG.

Mitch Wahl - A big scorer in junior, sent to the ECHL, recalled but so far has no points and is -2 in 5 games.

At the AHL level these are guys who are underachieving so far this season. Not everyone can be on the upswing at the same time, and unfortunately, the bounces haven't been there for these guys.
