Markstrom didn't redeem himself from crapping the bed in the playoffs, Huberdeau was a massive frustrating flop, Kadri showed sparks but then faded, and other guys were fine, but fine isn't what makes you want to watch a bunch of guys play hockey for a few hours of your evening on a regular basis. They couldn't even compete with Netflix this season, let alone have a chance of competing with the best of the league.

I like a lot of those guys. I like Rasmus, Backlund, Tanev, Zadorov, Pelletier, Huberdeau, Dube, Mangiapane - they have personality and/or fight hard for their team. I like the professionalism of Lewis, Coleman, Hanifin. I like how Markstrom and Vladar are teammates for each other.
