Similar to last season, this is yet another one where in the grand scheme of things Minamino can not really complain about how his point totals look on paper. He continued to put up fantastic possession numbers being reunited with potential MVP Martijn Westbroek but also like his rookie season, was largely a passenger when it came to production. The 11 goals and 30 assists split might suggest that he was a playmaker, but most of that point production still can be pointed towards Herculean individual efforts by Westbroek in carrying not just Minamino, but the entire team. The hope was that in rounding out other aspects of his game, Minamino's chances could both increase and he would be able to convert on more of them. Between the slight decrease in icetime, things had almost not changed at all. This was especially disappointing considering that the team as a whole lost out on their playoff opportunity with a few missed chances here and there, and as a highly regarded youngster, there is more that could have been delivered from his end.
