Dayton Musicmen Player Grades after 25 games Part Two (Defense & goalies)


Thirty percent of the 82 game CCHL regular season has passed and it's a good time to see how the boys are performing. We'll use a traditional grading scale with A being the best and F being the worst grades available. In the case of a player being traded to Dayton, a grade will be assigned. In the case of a player being traded from the Musicmen, no grade will be awarded. 






DEFENSE: 

Matt Niskanen: GP- 25, 6/12 - 18 pts. - Part of the team top blueline duo, Niskanen has a solid +7 so far playing heavy minutes thus far this season. GRADE (A)

Ron Hainsey: GP- 22, 5/9 - 14 pts. - Working well with Niskanen so far, he'll be welcomed back to the lineup for the team's next game on Wednesday night. GRADE (B)

Ben Lovejoy: GP- 25, 3/6- 9 pts. - The third Musicman who holds a +11 rating at this point. Working well on the team's second defensive pairing working mostly with Brenden Dillon. GRADE (A)

Brenden Dillon: GP- 25, 1/7 - 8 pts., - Not sexy but his +9 on the year is just fine to the coaches in Dayton. GRADE (B)

Adam McQuaid: GP- 21, 0/4 - 4 pts. - Not much is asked or expected but he's handling his 3rd pairing duties quite well. GRADE - (C)

Roman Polak: GP- 14, Similar to McQaid, he's handling his limited duties rather well. GRADE - (C)

Troy Stecher: GP - 3, GRADE - (Incomplete)

Matt Benning: GP - 3, GRADE - (Incomplete)

GOALIES:

Pekka Rinne: GP - 24, 16-6-2 - Tied for the CCHL lead in Wins and top 5 in most other goaltending catagories. Without question, Rinne is the team's MVP twenty five games into the 2019-20 season. GP - 3, GRADE - (A+)

Corey Crawford: GP - 2, GRADE - (Incomplete)
