Things look bleak mostly due to the terrible style this team has played all year. They look lost, lazy, and disinterested in the game.
Johnny and Monahan look like 2 players that are struggling under the weight of their new contracts. They just care about oroscusing and are fighting the game right now. Elliott looks like the goalie we saw in Ottawa and Colorado the career backup. I got on board with this acquisition but was always a little skeptical. Not going to completely write him off but I have little to no confidence in him right now. Bennett has been disappointing after a great preseason he has been indivisible in the first 5 games. I have liked Tkachuk but his usage over the past 2 games lead me to believe he should be sent down.
Gio and Brodie have looked off most of the season so far. Dougie has looked like a solid second pairing guy but not a $5.75M Dman
The players I have liked this year are Brouwer, Backlund, Frolik, Jokipakka, Engellend, and Johnson
