Sure thing:
Jiri Hudler: A: A way more complete player than I thought he was. Tougher, smarter and just better. His possession game has been a huge addition.
Roman Cervenka: B: – Looks like an NHL player for sure, just a matter of how good he can be. Looks like he has great instincts and fantastic hands – nice release on his shot. I expect by end of year this will be a A-
Alex Tanguay: A-: Delivering what you expect. Leading the team in scoring and making big plays at critical times of the game. The inconsistency is still there but he’s been good more often than not.
Jarome Iginla: D+: One goal. Spotty D. Not making enough of an impact
Curtis Glencross: B-: Needs to become more consistent.
Mike Cammalleri: C+: Stats look great but he’s been bad in far more games than he’s been good in. His stats are bolstered by 2 recent monster games.
Mikael Backlund: B+: Was maturing into a legitimate top 6 until injured.
Lee Stempniak: B+: Similar to Tanguay, the streakiness is still there but he’s giving you a lot of value and has scored some important goals
Matt Stajan: B: Has found a role on the team, would like to see some offensive production now follow
Blair Jones: C+: Hasn’t created enough energy from his spot
Tim Jackman: C: Adequate but not enough of an impact
Steve Begin: C: No issues really, but also not really impressive
Blake Comeau: C: People hate this guy but in the role he’s been put in, including as a PKer he hasn’t been bad.
