Markstrom has been great, and Tanev and Mangiapane have shown up every night. But there isn't anyone else on the roster that is 'having a good year' or meeting expectations, never mind exceeding them.

My comment was only about “playing to their abilities”, so Lucic’s contract has nothing to do with it.
Lindholm and Gaudreau are not playing to their abilities. Andersson has been a disappointment to me this season. I think he’s struggling supporting Gio, who was the stronger player but is no longer. Plus Rasmus is still young in D years so the role is pretty hefty for a guy his age.
Tanev is great - I love the way he defends. It’s too bad he has zero offence or he’d easily be a Norris candidate IMO. Mangiapane is fine, my only wish is he was not so easy to bounce off his feet.
I actually like Monahan’s effort this year. If he was burying his chances we’d be saying he’s having a great year. His shooting % just sucks.
