Of course, they also have one of the best lines in the league. And one of the best shut-down lines. And all-star goaltending.
So how did a team with such an excellent roster finish 20th in the league?

Backlund 14 goals
Frolik 10 goals
Bennett 11 goals
Brouwer 6 goals
Stajan 4 goals
Lazar 2 goals
Hathaway 4 goals
Versteeg 3 goals
Jagr 1 goal
After the 1st line and Tkachuk depth scoring was brutal and especially the bottom six was embarrassingly bad. Then at the end of the season we lost Monahan, Tkachuk and Brodie and dive bombed from playoff contention to 20th place.
