The Big Question: Which player has been the most disappointing?

Ilya Bryzgalov

The Big Question will be a weekly feature on PHT where we ask a question, provide some background and ask you, the reader, to weigh in with your opinions.

Today’s question: Which player is having the most disappointing season?

Last week the NHL announced its 2012 All-Star roster, a collection of players that are having superb seasons. But enough with all that celebrating the good – let’s get down to blasting the bad.

There’s no shortage of underperformers in 2011-12. A few to consider:

Ville Leino – Signed with the Sabres for $27 million over six years. Has three goals in 33 games.

Ryan Kesler – Scored 41 times last year for the Canucks. Just 12 goals so far, and only six of them even strength (read: without the Sedins).

Dwayne Roloson – Horrendous numbers (3.68 GAA, .880) for the guy that helped the Lightning get to within a game of the 2011 Stanley Cup finals.

Eric Staal – One of the league’s top snipers is on pace for 19 goals with a minus-37 rating.

Mike Cammalleri – For a $6 million cap hit, 10 goals isn’t enough. Allegedly not the greatest teammate either.

Brenden Morrow – Seven goals in 37 games for a guy that scored 33 last year. Plus, he plays on a team without a ton of depth, so it hurts even more.

Lubomir Visnovsky – Not even close to producing at the same “top scoring defenseman in the NHL” rate as 2010-11.

Ilya Bryzgalov – A huge concern for the Flyers. Bryzgalov is signed for big money until 2020 and in his first season in Philly has some of the worst goalie statistics in the league.

OK, your turn – go say mean things about players that are letting you down.
