		Although his plus/minus improved, Zhitnik's tendency to make glaring defensive mistakes became appartent in the playoffs when he was a -8 in six games while picking up just one assist.
		Zhitnik's point total dropped off from his rookie season and could drop even more as his power play time is likely to decrease with the Sharks' addition of Alexander Karpovtsev, Bryan McCabe and the emergence of Dmitri Yushkevich.
		Zhitnik's main purpose is to put up points and if he doesn't do it this year he may be on his way out as the Sharks look to improve on the blueline.
