Zak,
I mostly agree with your ratings, though I do not have time for a complete list at the moment.
I think what we see is that we are too young/undeveloped on defense, too hurt up front, and our Goalies have failed miserably except for Korpi.
There are people who should be ahead of where they are on the blue line, which is an indictment of the development team of the CBJ, or a failure of players to grow to be NHL players.
Sadly, it is likely that Chicago and Arizona are likely to pass the CBJ in ugliness the last 30 games, and one of them will get the #1 pick. Which in some ways is okay if the CBJ does not intentionally tank to get the most ping pong balls in the jar. We are truly not that far from being a playoff team now, and maybe next year will see the big jump I though the team would take this year. |
