My heart was saying A- for the grade because we've been conditioned to hold Seguin to a higher standard (and Benn too). I'm sure we can't imagine how much he pushed to come back this year and the team was better with him than without.
Seguin is one of the players that is pretty easy to slot into lineups. He's a middle 6 RW that doesn't have huge holes to cover and that can be maximized with chemistry. Just hope he can delay falling off that cliff where his body is no longer able to do what he wants it to do.
Can’t argue against his effort e.g. his commitment to. Rehab which allowed him to return Before he had fully healed from that surgery . Alas Segs’ career has been dotted with untimely injuries . Age catches up with everyone , and coupled with those injuries I just don’t know how much he has left in the tank physically . I truly hope he can finish his career and that the Injury Bug leaves him alone . Never questioned his desire and effort
There's an alternate universe where he's still worth his contract, or at least it's close; that drop in sG after the Achilles cut is on the of the clearest cases of cause/effect I've ever seen. It's incredible how little drop-off there's been since then, even with the additional injuries over the past 5 years. Absolutely can't question his commitment on or off the ice or how much he wants to win again.
One of the keys to being a valuable player is actually being available . Wouldn’t have given him an A due to All the injuries and his cap cost . He got injured again in the play offs this time a shoulder . There are probably better odds on him being on LTIR next season than playing 82 games . The heart is there but the body is failing .

Easy A.

jsyk, you've got Rantanen's '25 cap hit up there with Seggy's stats.
If he and Benn don't get their names on a cup together it'll be a tragedy worthy of Aeschylus. A bromance for the ages.

Is that right that he’s in the first year of an 8 year contract at $12mm AAV?!
Other than that, I agree with the A.
