They were ravaged by injuries to Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and Ryan Kesler (which may be career-ending) among others. The offensive production was nowhere to be found, and they went from one of the best defensive cores in the NHL to one of the worst in a season and a half. John Gibson is a great young goalie, but he’s no Carey Price, and his breaking point was far surpassed this season. But there’s still hope for this team, believe it or not. Sure, they are handcuffed with some awful contracts, but guys like Maxime Comtois, Ondrej Kase, Rickard Rakell and Sam Steel were bright spots.
