I think the biggest issues are Markstrom and Huberdeau. Markstrom has been terrible and Huberdeau hasn't been good enough. If Huberdeau was producing like he did historically and Markstrom was better than average, this team would have a much better record.
Huberdeau either isn't as good as his numbers showed or isn't a fit for this team.
My only beef with Sutter at this point is insisting on playing Markstrom as much as he has. I would wager that Markstrom alone has cost the team no less than 5 wins or 10 points in the standings.
