I think it has to do with his new role. I don't think he's fully suited to be our shutdown centre but his hustle and determination is probably the biggest benefit for him.
He's supposed to be our secondary scoring centre but he's been overtaken by Kadri.

Grabo for me as well. At one time one of our most dynamic scoring players. Now he does nothing creative offensively

Kessel has been better than Phaneuf but both have been underwhelming....agreement.
Grabo.
Not sure why all the hate for Kessel, he is what he is and will always be a scoring threat, he's just on an off year(which isnt even that off, he's like 0.8ppg).
Grabo however is hardly a consistent scoring threat, just playing solid defense, but that's not why he got the big money.

Kessel would be better if he had a worthy center. Same with Phaneuf. If he had someone other than AHL defensemen to play with, he would be drastically better. Anyways both players have always been the same, fading in and out of games. I can't however remember the last good game Grabovski had. All his rushes include him skating a mile, shoot and shot gets blocked. Rinse and repeat. Please pass on a rush, you ain't Kessel

The answer is far and away Grabovski.
That being said, he's not nearly as bad as people are gonna make him out to be.

Grabo and Kessel.
Grabo last year for all his flaws I could point to and say that player left it all on the ice... not so much this year.
Kessel is not a player you win with. When he wins a board battle maybe I'll throw a party to celebrate the occasion.

Grabo and Bozak. Grabo's being misused for his offensive #s. Bozak helping very little scoring wise with regards to JVR and Kessel and aside from that, and people want to resign him as the #3 center, he's missed his defensive coverage numerous times this season. Last 2 games, he's missed his defensive assaignment on 3 of the goals. Also he doesn't have that skating burst this season.
Grabo would be the obvious choice, but since I was never all that impressed with his one dimensional game, I will have to say Gunnarsson. He was supposed to be one of our more solid and versatile defensemen, but has had more bad games than not this season.
