OK, so we’ve reached the midway point of the Lightning schedule. I’m not much of the one to go through players and hand out grades… But I don’t think the idea is bad either. That’s why, I’ll let you guys handle the ratings.
Below is a list of every player currently on the Lightning roster. In each poll (listed below a players name) you will have the chance to rate the player from 1 to 5. 1 will represent terrible while 5 represents superb…
Of course, comments are open for discussion about players, their performance so far this season… Torts, Feaster, Palace Sports, OK Hockey and Absolute Hockey… Everyone that’s been part of the “party” this season. So please, chat away.

I don’t know if Feaster can be truly rated with his hands tied on spending. Likewise, unless you are blind to trying to understand the world of Sports Business, I can’t really give a grade to Palace Sports for the season so far. I can give a low grade to Absolute Hockey for falling apart though…
BTW — Ramo isn’t listed. He hasn’t been here long enough to get a mid-season ranking.
Although contributing up front, Brad Richards has the worst plus-minus on the team, his line isn’t helping him but I’m not impressed with him.
Another disappointing skater is Brad Lukowich, after coming back from the Devils I thought he might have gained a bit of defensive-defensiveman type experience but he also has a terrible plus-minus.
Vincent Lecavalier is the best player in the league and on one of the best lines, too. Prospal started the season well and has evened off back to his average self
