-- Many key players had career lows Monahan and Frolik on their normal PPG pace, Gaudreau slightly below last year, but still above his first full year's PPG pace, career years from Backlund, Hamilton, and Ferland; best year for Versteeg since 2011; a small drop in offense from Giordano, but his best year ever in terms of +/-,
Down years for Brodie while hauling Wideman's cadaver around the ice, Bennett due to a sophomore slump, and Brouwer. That's it unless you're talking goalies.
-- 17th best team in GF/G
-- 14th best team in GA/G
-- 10th best power play
-- 12th best penalty kill
-- Very lucky in terms of how few injuries
-- Wildcard finish /15th best in the league
All in all it was just an alright season.

I agree with most of what you said, but there were a couple of points that needed some editing. Overall I give this year the grade of B-. I'm hoping for at least an A- next year (win a round or two of playoffs).
