Decent Players Who are Quietly Having Bad Seasons

[57special]

For my team, Ryan Hartman. After three seasons where he scored 65, 37(missed over 20 games), and 45 pts, he now has 7 points in 27 gp. Much was made of him losing 15 lbs. coming into camp, but I never thought of him as an overweight, or slow player in the past. Sure enough, not only is he not producing (even though he is getting top 6 minutes), but he looks weaker out there than he has in the past.

All this after signing a new contract with a NMC. Figures.

Who is your player that is quietly stinking it up? No obvious, or injured ones, please.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has 4 even-strength goals in 31 games playing on Connor McDavid's wing.

He has 2 powerplay goals in 31 games playing on the PP with McDavid, Draisaitl, Bouchard & Hyman.

Terevainen was this way up until 2 games ago. He looked like a soft 3rd line guy who PKs and more closely resembled the Teuvo from the Hawks of yesteryear than the one who excelled alongside Aho in Carolina.

And then he went and put up 6pts in his last two games and we all love him again.

Nashville Predators...the whole team pretty much.

Yep, he is killing my fantasy team along with Ekholm. It seems everyone outside of McDrai is useless.

 

[Machinehead]

Kreider sucks this year.

 

[57special]

Surprised that Coyle wasn't mentioned, but he is hardly alone on the B's. He is one of those players who is perpetually disappointing because he seems capable of being so much more, but this year.... ya...

 

[SoundAndFury]

Andre Burakovsky has 2 goals and 12 points despite being healthy. And while this pace is almost identical to last year's most people hoped for a bounce back.



I also thought that Jake Sanderson is having a pretty rough season. His point production is ok for a D but he is on a very good Ottawa powerplay and only has 1 goal. More importantly he is -13 while Thomas Chabot is +12 and has almost identical offensive output with way less PP time. In other words, he has been kind of a mess in his own zone and no more than average offensively.

Charlie Coyle springs to mind.

Yeah I dropped him about a month ago in one of my yahoo leagues

Mattias maccelli !

At night when he's lying awake he probably still hears Dallas Eakins telling him to chop wood and carry water.

Maybe if he had he would have developed the physical strength to win faceoffs and handle the center role at the NHL level instead of becoming a complimentary winger.

Sanderson started out the year real strong, with 8p in 9g in October. When his partner, Zub, was injured, Coach Green paired Sanderson with the 7th Dman in Hamonic so as to not disrupt the other two pairings. That has since impacted his game, having to clean up the messes that come along with playing with an immobile shot blocker while still attempting to play first pairing minutes.

As for this thread, I’d offer Claude Giroux as an alternative to Sanderson. He has a gifted centre in Stutzle, and is on PP2 with spot duty on PP1, but is not really producing. Had a great October, but has since produced 6p in 14g in November, and 3p in 8g in December. Has lost a couple steps.

Not my team but man Connor Ingrams play tanked.

His mother passed away a few weeks ago from breast cancer. Gotta imagine that was weighing heavily on him.

 

[HansonBro]

Saad
Tarasenko
Kuzmenko

 

[Smif]

Tippett.
Jason Robertson.

Jason was the 2nd best Robertson on the ice last night which was very surprising.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Every Bruins forward.

 

[NVious]

Domi has picked it up as of late.

Through his first 22 games he was on pace for 0 goals and 18 points total (had a statline of 22gp 0g 6a) through the 70+ games he was gonna play.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Elias Pettersson has been missing since the 2024 All star break. Had a 19 points in 13 game stretch recently but still can’t skate for shit and has been pointless last 4 games.

Most frustrating star in the league.
