I will say, for a team that finished 20th, there are way to many A's and B's and not enough D's (Assuming C is played to expectations)
Frolik, Backlund, Brodie, Bennett, Brouwer, Hamonic, and everyone who stepped on the ice as the 4th line are all D's or worst to me. They all failed to live up to their required expectations this year.
(I might give Backlund and Hamonic a C-)
Yes coaching was terrible, and may have impacted these players, but at the end of the day their performance is their responsibility.
Backlund 14 goals, minus 21, and people are giving B's?
Hamonic 1 goal, 11 points, -9 and people are giving B's?
How anyone can think these 2 outperformed their expectations to any degree confuses me.
We were a very bad team this year, and outside a select few players (JG, Tkachuk, Gio, Hamilton, 1st half Monahan) almost everyone was a C or worst.
