canucklehead44 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Based on last year's performance who do you think the most useless player was? I read an article discussing how Derek Joslin was one of the worst defenseman in the league, so I had the idea of extending the topic to all players. To meet eligibility, your selected player must meet the following criteria: Games played: 41+ Fights: 4 or less (This filters out goons) You can select up to three but don't have more than one from a team. Here are mine: Mattias Tedenby- 6 points in 43 games. +/- -15. Corsi -5.38. Quality of competition -.043. Off zone starts 50.7%. Hits 25. Blocked shots 1. Why he's the worst: Small (5'10, 175lbs), produce no offense, not physical at all, and played against relatively weak players. Also had over 50% of his starts in the offensive zone. On the ice for as many goals against as Ryan Carter (other 4th liner) in a little over half the amount of games. Why he isn't the worst: Still a young player. Great speed. Nino Niederreiter - 1 point in 55 games. +/- -29. Corsi -.0726. Quality of competition -.047. Off zone start 46%. Hits 129. Why he's the worst: Nino was clearly not NHL ready. He produced no offense and was -29 against a fairly low quality of competition. Playing for the Islanders doesn't help. Why he isn't the worst: For starters he is a rookie. Also no Islander with 30+ games played was on the ice for fewer goals against. His hit numbers are also solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion Phaneuf Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 El Nino (being a top prospect doesn't help his cause). Marco Sturm (did nothing all year long). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 yes but at least Tedenby and Nidereitter have the potential to be superstars in the NHL a few years down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Raymond was the worst player, bar none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Gomez or Sturm. A tie between them I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockhart Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Raymond then Marco Sturm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Don't agree that the answer is Scott Gomez based on the criteria for 'worst player'. The question isn't asking which player has the worst value, the question is asking who the worst hockey player is. My vote would go to John Scott, though I don't think he meets the 41+ game criteria.

Grape Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 El Nino. But which line did he play on? Isles can't just play him on the fourth and hope he improves and produces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.K. Chesterton Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Holy guacamole! I didn't realize Niederreiter was in the NHL last season - and only 1 measly point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
