Forwards have been better as a group than the defenseman and goaltenders.

Jiri Hudler: A
Curtis Glencross: B+
Matt Stajan: B+
Roman Cervenka: B
Lee Stempniak: B
Mikael Backlund: B
Alex Tanguay: B-
Mike Cammalleri: B-
Blair Jones: C+
Jarome Iginla: C
Blake Comeau: C
Tim Jackman: D
Steve Begin: F

IMO people need to remember Glencross is an undrafted, underappreciated player that really shouldn't be playing 1st line minutes. Despite that he's leading the team in goals. How can that be anything but overachieving? Really think Stajan has come a long way. He does more of the little things well than any other forward. I and others have crapped on Comeau but he has shown some value as a penalty killer and played better as of late. His days of scoring goals are a thing of the past though as he's strickly 4th line talent. I wasn't a fan of the Jackman or Begin signings and IMO both of these guys could be easily replaced with AHLers. Begin in particular is done as an NHL player.
