Did we expect too much? Some are old (Ovi, Oshie), some have been hurt (Tage), some have moved teams (Barrie), some had unusual shooting % (Kuzmenko). Any obvious explanations for these guy?
EK65 was 99% of the Sharks’ schemes, he’s not in PIT
Lindholm deal was optimistic
Mercer is in the common 2nd season woes
Wasn’t Kuzy shooting % super high last season? (Idk)
JRob, Tkachuk, Thompson, Terry aren’t huge worries but not something to be calm about
Robertson: Dallas is just stacked all around, don’t really need him scoring at a 100 point pace
Thompson: The sabres in general (minus Dahlin) have been struggling
Tkachuk: He doesn’t need to carry the Panthers by himself anymore
Gaudreau: Age and the classic case of someone getting a big pay day after a career year
Dubois: Just not getting played
Tuch: See above
Ovechkin: Age finally caught up to him
Cozens: See above
Debrusk: Ice time got cut
Huberdeau: Just hasn’t fit in with Calgary
Mercer: Same case as the sabres, the devils have oddly been off
Terry: Hasn’t had consistent linemates
Lindholm: One season wonder
Karlsson: Fall off was expected
Sandin: Buried on the third pairing
Grezlyck: Not really offensive minded
Barrie: Not playing
Kuzmenko: Ice time has dropped a ton
Wheeler and Oshie: Old
Karlsson started the year nearly point per game and was looking amazing. Haven't seen too many recent games but I'd assume he's slumping with the team.
But i have seen several posts that him and Petterson have been a REALLY good pair and have great numbers
