Absolutely. You look at a guy like Ryan and realize if Monny played a little more like him he'd be way better off. He just seems to be able to deke and stick handle where Sean always flubs it to the opposition. Sean certainly is no more punishing physically than Ryan at all and don't get me started about reaction time.
With Backlund or Lindholm I feel their mediocrity stems from having given up, as they see the outlook of the team going forward, and like us all, are somewhat depressed. Whereas Sean's mediocrity is all home grown. At the least you could say he's the victim of too high expectations of previous years, much like the team itself.
(in regards to his current play not so much his pick success)
