Hall is the only good player on the team and, even then, he can be pretty boneheaded.
Yakupov is ridiculously skilled but ridiculously soft. Completely clueless defensively.
RNH is always hurt and isn't strong enough to be playing at the NHL level, especially in the West.
Eberle just tries to toe drag through everyone.
Gagner ... I don't even know ... Skill is there but rarely makes use of it. Has huge games every once in a while that pad his stats. Awful defensively.
They have very little grit and no size in their top 6 at all. Blueline is the worst in the league, bottom 6 is the most overpaid in the league, they've been rotating castaway goaltenders since they let Roloson walk (who incidentally led TBL to the ECF that year), and rotating coaches for even longer.
