Dustin Brown's success is only "overachieving" if you didn't expect anything from him to begin with, but I think everyone at LGK did.

Agreed. I remember his first few games, liking him instantly, and anxiously awaiting his development into a premier player.

I seem to remember most people criticizing him and wanting him traded saying he had no hockey sense and wouldnt develop.

Change "most" to "some" and I agree with you.

You could make a case for Lubo being the underacheiver. He's had a rough year all around, he's still on pace for about 45 points but I expected more out of him.
I'm confident Visnovsky will bounce back, but he's had a rough first half.

I think Brown is overachieving and I expect a good season from him.
I expected 20-25 goals and he's on pace for 40.

I think Armstrong is underachieving more than Handzus.

Once healthy, Handzus was (is?) expected to be a legit #2 center. Armstrong is a #3/4 center playing as a #2 and doing as well as can be expected.

Wow, I just got really depressed after typing that.

Nagy underachieving and Modry overachieving.
When Modry has been the team's best defensemen the 1st half, something is terribly wrong!!!
