Former stars who drag their team down.

[PM]

Sedins have understandably slowed down but they're still 1 and 2 in team scoring. Hardly dragging their team down

Apparently by deploying Sbisa almost exclusively with the Sedins in the offensive zone we are neutering Sbisa's true potential by tying him to the Sedins. Yes, that is how crazy and nonsensical the Canucks board is these days.

Detroit is in such a bad position that they don't even have any former stars on the roster, except Zetterberg. And his broken-down ass has actually been one of the best players for the team this year.

Green and Vanek are former stars.

Both having decent seasons but still they are former stars

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

Matthews. started out plotting 4 goals a game.

has yet to come close to that.

 

[Poochie_D]

Gallagher has had a real tough time this season. Zero offense to speak of.

 

[JD1]

Bobby Ryan and Dion Phaneuf.

Some Sens fans are ridiculous. At the start of the season, I'm pretty confident that the players, the coach, the GM, the ownership and the fanbase would have been thrilled to go in to the Christmas break sitting solidly in second in the Atlantic. But to read the Sens board, you'd think all that was on the team was a bunch of no good, do nothing, over paid, over the hill beer leaguers.

Isn't Dustin Byfuglien slowly getting there?

He's been there a long time. The ultimate game changer. In a bad way. Although he also has never been a star.

 

[HSF]

Bobby Ryan and Dion Phaneuf.

nope neither of these are true

 

[Captain Mountain]

Weber

I think my Avatar says all that needs to be said on my opinion of the trade.

But Weber has been excellent this year and is absolutely not a drag on the team. He's still a #1 D-man and I'll eat crow for thinking otherwise.

Montreal has 46 points to Toronto's 31. How many points ahead of you do you think we would without him? 25? 30?

Its nice to see a Leafs fan be so positive about the Habs roster to think we be so infinitely better than them if not for one player. Way to stay positive amid your teams failure!

NHL All-Star Game
2011, 2012*, 2015, 2016

5th highest points per game average for a defenseman over the last 5 years.

I love how Leafs fans so desperately want Phaneuf to be a failure in Ottawa. He's been very solid in his role for us.

Sure, he's a bit slow, but he's been a key part on the first unit of our rapidly improving power play. He's been tough to play against, and solid veteran presence. He's FAR from dragging the team down.

 

[Bone Breaker]

you could basically list every veteran player the Avs signed in these past few years here but as of now, this thread has only one possible answer: Jarome Iginla ainec. I don't remember to have ever seen a player decay so much, dude is not even a shade of himself anymore. more like the shade of his shade.

 

[chunkylover53]

OP said STARS.

I like how you highlighted Phaneuf for this yet Ryan gets the pass

 

[Drew4u]

Parise. Not on the ice but he's just overpaid.

 

[troyerlaw]

Someone should mention Iginla, then.

I agree. Do you want to do it, or should I? LMK

 

[chunkylover53]

I'm going to be anti-crowd and say NOT Iginla. The Avs just stink in general, and Iginla is no more special in that regard.

 

[SB84]

Joe Sakic?

Definitely the best answer

 

[ViCiieux]

Former Dallas Stars players everyone..
Come on

 

[DustyMartellaughs]

I kept Ladd on my fantasy roster, hoping for between 45-55 points. He won't get half that.

 

[TT1]

Weber

Morgan Rielly boys

Bonus:

 

[trentmccleary]

Shane Doan is on his worst scoring pace since his rookie season 20 years ago.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Has Kronwall been already mentioned here?

Not a star but paid like one.

Kronner has a 4.75 cap hit. His contract was a huge bargain for most of the deal.

The decline is real though, Kronwall is pretty close to finished it would appear.

 

[Nordic*]

Gallagher has had a real tough time this season. Zero offense to speak of.

That's kind of a double negative.

 

[Kale Makar]

I understand Iginla isn't the same Iginla we all remember, but is he really the one dragging the team down when you have Rene Bourque (yes I know he is leading the team in goals some how), Joe Colborne and Blake Comeau in your top 6/9.

I mean they all suck but yes, Iginla is glaringly bad this year. Makes dumb passes to nowhere and is useless holding the puck. Absolutely terrible.
