Nick Holden and Nate Guenin can be banished to the South American hockey league for all I care if there even is one. They flat out suck and may very well be the two worst players in the entire league

Grossmann and Rinaldo are bad players, but I like them. Lecavalier and Umberger, I don't care about.

Staal only because somebody is going to give him way more than he's worth and it better not be us.

Really, I like everyone. Even Glass, I don't hate. He's just there.

Gardiner. It's one thing to see a player with average skills make boneheaded plays, it's much more frustrating when a guy has so much talent like he does and can't put it together between the ears. His decision making is baffling at times and it's happening on a nightly basis.

Campbell. He was a good role player but has fallen off and has sucked the last year and a half. To compound matters Julien is madly in love with him and plays his way too often and even has put him out in critical offensive situations and in OT.

Dan Cleary... Please just go away.

I'm starting to think this day will never come though. Holland will find a way to keep him on the roster until he's 55.

Dan Cleary is still technically on the team, even if he almost never plays... So him. Also, I would have thought I'd say Quincey, but he's actually been pretty serviceable (though I would shed 0 tears if he left), but Kindl is the other guy on the team that has just gotta go.

Easily Patrick Kaleta, at least before with his antics he brought something to the team. Now a days he is just there and it is only a matter of time before he does something stupid again.

So basically the whole defense except for Streit Schenn and MDZ, who is regularly scratched for MacDonald and Grossmann and Schultz and Coliac...yea

The only reason I want Coburn gone is because he's actually worth something still and we need to move him before his value drops.

Clarkson (obviously) and Bozak* for the Leafs. Saw some posters saying Gardiner, which I totally disagree with. Guys lost right now, but we've seen him be a more then capable second pairing defender with more upside, and that doesn't just go away in 30 games.

*As for Bozak, he might be having a good offensive season because of inflated PP numbers, but to me he represents the lingering mediocrity left on the leafs. The guy is the first line center on the softest, weakest possession line in the league and he is a huge contributing factor to these huge weaknesses. Great value as a stop gap, but when he is finally gone or loses his spot on that line will be the day the team finally takes a step away from a bubble team. -.-

Nobody right now, everybody is playing a good role and has their proper place. Some guys are struggling but there's reasons for that, they are playing too high up the lineup due to injuries or lack of depth or they are young and not totally ready but still need to play through those tough minutes to get better down the road. Nobody on the team is really looking like a dud right now. Just need Hamhuis healthy to get the blueline set back to proper.

Vey is the scapegoat but it's not really his fault, he is just too little and too tentative for the speed of the game right now. With Sestito healthy maybe Vey will see the press box a little more, not sure he is ready for the NHL game this season but you can see the talent there for sure, a couple of good thirteenth forwards between those two, one tough guy and one skill kid/PP specialist.

Casual Kevin Bieksa.

It's not that he's a BAD player persay, it's just that he's outgrown his time here, and I'd like to move him for someone while he has some good trade value. I dunno, maybe he has a NTC? I doubt we'll ever get rid of him even if he doesn't, because he's apparently a leader, a fan favorite, and good in the locker room. I'm just saying that I could do without all the defensive mistakes. I'd like to move him for another good defenseman.

Bieksa is solid when paired with an actual good defenseman (e.g Hamhuis) otherwise he's not very reliable. However his on-ice and locker room presence is extremely valuable. It would be smarter for the Canucks to just shelter him with good partners rather than get rid of him.

Flyers:

#1: Lecavalier

Awful at 5v5 and defensively. Just a shadow of himself who pulls down everyone he plays with... his Corsi WOWY stats will show that as well... just unbelievably bad.

#2: Grossmann

Still an NHL calibre defenceman, but he is a #5 at best who cannot handle a puck or skate very well. His weaknesses are magnified by being played in a role effectively as a #2-3 and the D on the Flyers being so poorly constructed. He probably should not be so high on this list when I logically think about it... he looked good when he first joined the Flyers and was played in a role suited to his ability... but his play is so frustrating.

#3: Rinaldo

Guy is a liability. He has however actually played 'ok' this year but he should still at best be a 13th forward in the NHL. Watching him on the PK as our amazing coach thought it would be a good idea was so painful. He has a legitimate claim to being the worst regular NHL player.

#4: VandeVelde

Not an NHL player... he does not do anything well enough even though he is a pretty good AHLer, but our coach has a mancrush on him and tries to put him out for shifts with Giroux and Voracek a few times a game... and puts him out for the last 30 seconds of almost every Powerplay.

#5: Emery

I love Ray, guy is a battler and has had some big performances for us in both his stints. But his lateral movement is so bad now since he has no hips that it approaches comedic at times... there were far more reliable backups available for similar or less money this offseason and we all knew it. Greiss or Montoya would have been far better, and the Flyers could have afforded more money than both signed for.
