To say that they sucked is a little ignorant. There are two Stanley Cup champions on your list, and the other guys who have put up decent numbers over their careers. Teams woudn't have been clamoring for Glencross if he totally sucked.
The problem is not with the individuals, but the roles they are expected to play. We have a lot of decent 2nd/3rd liners on this team....but no elite 1st liners. Yet we put these guys in those 1st line roles because we have to, and then complain when don't deliver. If you're really expecting any more out of Hudler or Stempniak or Glencross than what you saw this season, you're going to be disappointed. They are what they are.
