Biggest No Shows for teams eliminated

Late to the party but I realized I never gave my personal opinion for the Bolts. I’m going to go with Brayden Point. Nikita Kucherov is probably a close second. There were players who were far worse, especially Emil Lilleberg, but I’m thinking about it in terms expectations compared to what actually happened. I expected Lilleberg to suck, and that’s exactly what he did. I did not expect Brayden Point to disappear. He normally shows up big in the playoffs.

Joke answer since I’m actually primarily a Utah fan: all of them. Where the hell were they? I didn’t see a single one!
 
Now that the Leafs are done, Matthews wins that award by a country mile.
Definitely. But Leafs fans will (generally) produce excuses for him and put the blame on Marner. It's bizarre how much the Leafs fan base protects Matthews. Sure, Marner is terrible when it matters, too. But Matthews is the franchise player. He's the "man". He's got the size that should make him effective in the tougher playoff games.

Marner produces points, but he'll never be looked at as "the guy". He's a complimentary star and his style doesn't really translate to tough playoff games. But he'll take all the heat while Matthews will get another free pass.
