Healthiness.
So many injuries so early into the season and it keeps on piling. It’s gotta be the biggest disappointment of the season.

The biggest disappointment is Mitch Marner.
Specifically the fact he's still on the team. I'm not sure who to blame for that. A combination of Treliving's shortcomings and the player himself.
It's disappointing they keep bringing him back every year.
Don't get me wrong I think Marner is a good player. But like Kessel before him he's a complimentary piece. A lot of empty calorie points makes him great to have around once the real stars are on the team.
But for the price he commands Marner should be doing it all himself.
That means not riding shotgun with an $11M centre. It's frustrating to see him earn so much and still needing support like that. Let him go earn eight figures riding the coattails of some other teams star players.
The most disappointing thing they could do is re-sign him now.

He has been, but he did go to Germany for some treatment. He could have a valid injury going on.
Robertson has been pretty underwhelming.

For me it's Beniot. His play has really slipped without Mccabe on his right side. It is surprising considering how well Timmins has played.
I can't be dissapointed in Domi as he has shown through out his career he does not perform well at center. He is best used as a winger with a quality shooter.
As for Roberston again he is a player who is not going to score unless he is getting quaility PP time and playing on a top 6 line. He has played well on the third line for the most part but not really a fit on this team. Should have traded him before the season started when he was on his heater.
