LA didn't stand out ever this year in the NHL. Every single other person on the team, except maybe Haley, has had some standout moments. Howden looks like crap most of the time and then you see a spurt and he's got a goal. McKegg forchecks like a mad man, finds soft spots in front of the net, which in conjunction with his completely shitty stick handling, passing, and balance, leads to overall minimal impact. But yet he stands out for what he does well. Lias didn't drag anyone down really, but he looked completely invisible. I'd rather see mistakes like Kakko but then the standout plays that make you say 'ahh, that's why we drafted this guy'. Even if he was coached to be safer, I still want to see a moment or two where he makes a nice D play in the O zone causing a turnover and scoring chance and makes you smile. Just never happened for him this year.
