Who on your team has disappointed this season. Not strictly by points, but you can choose your criteria.
1. Alexis Lafreniere - I expected a 25+ goal season out of him.
2. Kaapo Kakko - I expected a 20+ goal season out of him with good overall play. He played well but couldn't score.
3. Mat Barzal - I didn't expect that playing for Trotz and the weird start for the Islanders would affect him that much. see Oliver Wahlstrom
4. Ilya Samsonov- clearly the back-up on Washington. Still time to turn it around though.

Joel Eriksson-Ek - I really expected another uptick in his development. Not this shoddy slip back to mediocrity. Started awesome, then disappeared
Brandon Carlo - I fully expected him to take that #2 spot in hand and he seems to have fallen in love with a #5.
Elli Tolvanen - Is that Peppe Le'Pew I smell?
Jamie Oleksiak - I really thought a move to Seattle would help him, apparently I was mistaken
Travis Sanheim - See Brandon Carlo, except he's dating #4 apparently.
Jakub Vrana - That shoulder injury really derailed a promising season in Det.
Rasmus Asplund - Has anyone actually SEEN Asplund this year? Seems he's auditioning for the invisible man role.
Rudolph Balcers - Thought he was going to be that pesky 3rd line 15 goal guy with all the toys, seems he's only opted for the pesky part.

Where to start?
Goaltending. All of them. Bishop had to retire and everyone else was seemingly trying to compete for the league goalie position. They've gotten a bit better of late (those who haven't been shut down) but none of them had seized the opportunities they had been presented with.
My med staff - Have only a dozen players who are going to play 70+ games and seven who have been shut down for the season due to injury. Of those seven I was hoping to see what a number of them were going to do (2nd round selection Shane Pinto 5 GP, 3rd rounder Nikolai Knyzhov 0 GP, Mile Wood - was the previous year the start of something or a blip? 3 GP, Sammie Blais put on NYR first line and then ACL torn 14 GP). Throw in defensive stalwarts Jakub Silfverberg (53 GP) and Brandon Sutter (0 GP - COVID complications) and my pre-season projected 3rd line evaporates.
Ryan Strome - Hoped that the young talent in NY would make defensive matchups more difficult allowing him to blossom further offensively but it just hasn't happened.
RNH - Playing 3C makes matchups against the Oilers down the middle more difficult but the total lack of talent on the line with him means all his production has to come from special teams
Joel Farabee - Was hoping to watch his continued development but Philly sucks and Farabee has had problems staying healthy for more than 25 consecutive days
