Crap is the wrong word, but the Stars have struggled without him. For example, look at that match prior to the San Jose match down in Tampa. I think we managed one shot on net? The Stars have had to change their system slightly by not having a big target player like Walker up top.

I forget how many minuted he had last year, but with four goals (I think he has five counting US Open Cup matches), he gets my vote.

Kallman is a strong player, but his improvement was last year. He continues to develop, but Amani is clearly the "most improved."

Compared to where Kallman has come from, it's hard not to see him as most improved. That said, Amani has been great this year. Takada seems to be such a rock that it's hard to see a huge leap in improvement. I also think Simone has been playing more consistently well this year whereas he was hot and cold last year. Matty extreme has been huge...

I don't think I can point to one player yet... it's going to be fun to see how things improve over the rest of the season. I'm hoping that Wasson gets more time too.
