Keep in mind that until mid-January they lacked depth at Center because Patrick was playing & producing at a snail’s pace; Provorov was playing very poorly, Myers wasn’t up (I blame that much more on Hextall), the goaltending had been atrocious pre-Hart, Ghost having a very down season, Simmonds a wreck at ES.... this team had a lot of problems.
Exactly....but Weise, Weal, Leier, Lehtera, Frolin, MacDonald were all not just on the roster but playing. None fo these guys are legit NHL players anymore. They aren't average NHL players like Raffl. They aren't NHL level players anymore. Add that to bad goaltending and you get a last place team. Hextall didn't know how to form an NHL roster and the worst part was he failed because he didn't trust his own drafted players. If he just played the kids and fired his kids college coach; he would still be the GM.
