Historically,you can say they were underrated but during their careers they were given their due, esp. Park. He was #2 to Orr for a period of time. Considering who Orr was,that's saying something. Dionne's numbers can't be challenged,but to me, there was always something that separated him from the best of the best. Maybe because he seemed to be a support player in int'l. competitions, or maybe unfairly because his teams lacked playoff success. I respect his accomplishments,but I agree that he ranks below the Lafleur's and Beliveau's. Dionne was the big fish in a small pond, a bad week would never cost him prime pp time,like it would have Mikita,Hull,Beliveau etc. Players on great teams share icetime and oppurtunity while Dionne was never in that situation.
