Tobias Rieder... and the expectations were not that high. 0 goals in 67 games (92 shots... and NHL record for forwards).

Other Oilers... well, for the Oilers it's easier doing an exception list...
McDavid
Draisaitl
RNH
Chiasson
Kassian
Klefbom
Nurse

Charlie Coyle
Mikael Granlund
Jason Zucker
Nino Niederreiter (in his MN half)
Eric Staal (after Koivu went down for the season)
Kevin Fiala

Pretty clear why the Wild missed the playoffs. That's 5/6 of their top 6 under-performing. Thanks for a decent season, Zach Parise.

auston matthews worst +/- on his team

Plus/minus obviously isn't the best stat out there, but his defense did seem to take a step back this season. He had shown some promise that he may turn develop into a two-way player earlier on in his career, but he seemed to be more of an offense-only type of C this year. I think Tavares was leaned on to do more of the heavy-lifting defensively this season.

Definitely Laine (expected 45+35) and maybe slightly Matthews (hoped for a full season with clearly setting himself apart as the clear #1 star for the team). Also Expected Barzal to at the very least hit PPG
