[Kakko]

Arron Asham: Still don't understand why he was scratched. Played some great game. Would have like a little more fighting. B-
Martin Biron: NHL Backup. Not much else to it. 5 hole problems, but still very solid. Plus a great team guy B
Derick Brassard: We <3 Brass God A
Brian Boyle: Overplayed. Offense we all know. Still extremely overrated on defense. Screens our goalie way too much. D
Ryan Callahan: Had his ups and downs this year. He's still Ryan Callahan. C
Ryane Clowe: Played very well for, and was intimidating, which we lacked. Keep him. B-
Michael Del Zotto: Worst season of his career play-wise, and his most confient season don't make a good match D-
Derek Dorsett: Only eleven games, but he showed some great skill, and did his job as a pest. Took Rat face out of the game too. Refs seem to have it out for him though... C+
Steve Eminger: Not an NHL defender, but a solid #7. Keep him around, but when he has to play, no more than 10 minutes C-
Matt Gilroy: Looked better than Del Zotto when he played. No offense, but surprisingly solid in his own end. I'll take it C+
Dan Girardi: He's always been carried by his partner. This season exposed him. Played some good games in the playoffs, but singlehandedly cost us some. Move him if the price is right D+
Carl Hagelin: Didn't really improve from last year, and seems to not be more than a 40-50 point guy. Still a solid performance C+
Micheal Haley: Not afraid to get dirty, but Dorsett does the same thing, and is better at it. AHL guy, but fine for an emergency call up C
Roman Hamrlik: His career was over before we picked him. Just remember that guys. Find it hard to grade him...
Chris Kreider: Pure ****. Then purely amazing. Hopefully he can do well outside of the playoffs next year F/A
Henrik Lundqvist : He was no where near as good as last year. Rebound control. Seeing through screens. Puck handling. He could be one of the all time greats, but has to work for it C
Ryan McDonagh: Was looking as good as last year, but not better for most of the season. He was a god in the playoffs though. Hopefully a sign of things to come B
John Moore: He's a great offensive defenseman. Clown uses him as a defensive defenseman. That's how we ruin prospects B
Rick Nash: Great season. Still needs to learn to pass earlier sometimes. Took a while in the playoffs, but looked great in the end. B
Kris Newbury: Career AHLer. Leave him there to rot or let him walk to Europe D
Darroll Powe: Great defensively, but why do guys lose all talent when they come here? Still better than Rupp C
Taylor Pyatt: You guys give him way too much ****. He scored at the pace we expected him to, and should be used as a screen on the powerplay. Marshmallow though... C
Brad Richards: An enigma to say the least. He actually played well going into the playoffs, but fell apart again. I'll reserve judgment, but give him another shot next year
Marc Staal: Our best defender, by far. **** off if you wanna trade him A
Derek Stepan: The only A+. What a ****ing season. Glad we traded Anisimov and not him A+
Anton Stralman: Generally solid, but makes some ugly mistakes. Has a shot too, so he obviously can't be on the powerplay B-
Mats Zuccarello: Thought he was done. The crow tastes great B+

John Tortorella: **** you F-
Mike Sullivan: **** you F-
Benoit Allaire: This is the goalie coach? If so, he's not really doing a good job of helping our goalie fix his problems F-
Glen Sather: He didn't even do anything this year anymore. I'll give Gorton a B though

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

I'll do a write up later.

I think we made it very very long for how this team was this year.

Disappointing season and I think we took a step back as an organization unfortunately.

Miserable year.

 

[ChrisKreider20]

Torts - F
Brassard - A+
Lundqvist - A+
Sullivan - F
Nash - B-, would have been A- if it wasn't for the payoffs.
Sather - B-' I have no qualms with him lately. He's built a team for Torts.

 

[Baby Punisher]

A lot of changes need to be made to this team. It starts with the buy out of Richards, the firing of Torts & Sather & than gutting this roster say for 7-8 current players.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Great year for Hank with regression everywhere else. With the demise of Brad Richards, we're not a cup contender. Stepan is great but he's not good enough to bring us to the finals by himself.

Interested to see what is done.

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Gabs and Richards can follow their careers off the proverbial cliff. They are the main reason why this season was such a failure. . hat's what the emotional part of me wants to say. The realistic part says they got old and our luck was horrendous. There is no excusing this PP nightmare though anymore. It gets fixed or someone's head should roll. Our PP was an international embarrassment to the hockey world in these PO.

We continue to show a lot of balls fighting back and whatnot against Washington but with all the advantages this team should have this continues to be the best we do year in and year out (One anomaly) and Sather doesn't get canned its just disgusting.

Lundqvist=Ralphie
everyone else=the rest

someone feels generous

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

I also think people who blame this on Sather's have not watched this team at all this year.

Get a clue please.

[NJRangers35]

Please, please, please do not be here next year Asham, Gilroy, Newbury, Pyatt, Richards, Hamrlik, Torts, and Sullivan. I also do not care if Powe, MZA, Boyle, Clowe, and MDZ are back either.

Stepan, Brassard, McDonagh, Stralman, and Hank thank you for a great season. You all get an A.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

I also think people who blame this on Sather's have not watched this team at all this year.

Brad Richards was Slats' get out of jail free card and it turns out he's fried quicker than we all thought he would be.

We have some very good pieces. As a whole team, though, I can't see how we're a cup contender. That's not John Tortorella's fault.

Brad Richards decline is completely on him. Sather's signed him to a good deal as well.

Clowe, stralman, staal and powe out, and MDZ, Lundqvist, Nash and Richards not playing up to par is the reason they didn't continue on.

Glen Sather has not done a bad job.

I think this is an overreaction. There is a solid core here to be a cup contender. Players like Lundqvist, Callahan, Stepan, Nash, McDonagh and Staal are good enough to build around. There are also very good secondary pieces like Stralman, Hagelin, and Brassard. I refuse to believe that this team cannot win a cup. You go and get a coach with a different style who doesn't only preaches grind and jam and you add a big shot from the blue line like a Yandle type player and you have just as good of a chance as anyone.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

That's the problem with doing this after the season is completely done.

People here are not capable of evaluating the team critically over an entire game, let alone the players after the regular season AND a playoff run.
