Suzuki - A+
Our best player since... a long time ago.
Hutson - A+
Expectations were much lower. Even his D is great. We would all love him to be two inches taller but he plays so well within his limitations. A stud.
Slaf - C+
I expected so much more from him. He's just a complementary player right now. He's big and he's still learning. He still has a lot to learn. He'll get there eventually but with the production Suzuky and Caufield had, he should have had over 60 points.
Caufield - A
I love the fact he plays harder and he's able to produce in the playoffs. He's not a one-trick pony anymore.
Guhle - B+
Damn injuries. Great playoff guy. We need another one like him on defense.
Laine - C
Rating him is really hard. What were the expectations? Without him, we wouldn't have made the playoffs. That's why I give him a C.
Evans- B-
I'm not sure about Evans. He got a good run that got him that contract but he didn't produce enough outside of that. Thank God we didn't give him what he wanted.
Gally - B
From buy-out consideration to heart and soul player. I thought he would be healthy scratched a couple times but he always gives everything he has. He makes his contract less horrible, that's for sure.
Anderson - B+
More points than last year in a lesser offensive role. Positive attitude. He's always played hard but, this time, it was in a better role. Nothing bad to say against him.
Matheson - B-
The brain farts are always tough to swallow but we have to admit he brings a lot to the team. Much better defensively than I expected.
Savard - D+
Meh... should have been scratched a couple times, to be honest. His leadership was nice but he was just too slow.
Xhekaj - D
Can't take the next step. Is it his fault? Probably a little. I don't understand all the love he gets from the fan. He's just ok.
Dvorak - D+
We saw in the playoffs he's exactly what we need to improve. We need someone tougher. His defense was fine.
Montembault A-
Maybe still too inconsistent to my taste, which is probably what prevents him from being an elite number one. Often made THE important save that kept us in the games and allowed us to come back in the third period. He's going to be even better next year with an improved team in front of him.
Armia E
I'm probably biased here. I just can't stand him. He has all the tools but doesn't use them. I have no idea how he got 29 points this year. Ok, my bias is too strong. Maybe he's a D.
Strubble C+
Played better than Xhekaj but I would like him to be a SOB and hit more. He's a fine #6 and he's still getting better.
Heineman - C+
He would have been an A before his injury but his lack of offence after that is concerning. I like his level of effort and the fact he can hit. He's a great 4th liner.
Newhook D+
Played better after Dach's injury and I like him more on the 3rd line. So many missed chances, though...
Dach E
Horrible, just horrible. And I like the guy. We saw how much of a problem he was when we started winning after his injury. He got so many chances and did absolutely nothing with them. Not enough efforts to be a factor and it doesn't work with this team. I had high hopes for him but they're now gone.
Carrier A+
Seriously, who was that guy? I've rarely seen a player change a team that much after a trade. The defense improved so much and everybody seemed to find his place. I don't remember him having a single bad game. Always playing safe and doing the right play. The playoffs were a huge revelation.
