You've got it the wrong way around.
Has Tanev, Klefbom, and Brodie as overrated
Has Rielly as underrated
I mean... top 15 is still good... Silly, but still good.There's a post barely a few above you that calls him only top-15. The chronic hate the guy gets around here is unbelievable. Blues fans have him pegged pretty well so maybe it's not apparent or visible to you, but you would think the guy is simply a middle of the pack #1 d-man on this forum.
I think its far to say Doughty is underrated on this site since almost no one seems to think he deserved his Norris and there seems to be a notion that he is only considered in the coversation as the leagues best dman because he is Canadian at a time when the other 2 in talks are Swedes...ya I dont get it either.
I don't think Orlov is underrated. His inability to take the next step is a big part of Washington's shortcomings.
Leddy isn't underrated, he might not get much praise, but he doesn't get much s*** either, and he's a very poor player in his role (Not saying he's a bad player overall, but you get my point).
Ekholm was not better than Ellis last post season.A lot of people consider Ellis better than Ekholm though. Ellis had one season better than Ekholm, and Ekholm was better in the playoffs that season as well.
Curiously, Werenski and Jones hardly ever come up in these discussions as either overrated or underrated. I choose to presume that that is a good thing.Lol I'm pretty sure every d man that's relevant has been mentioned at least once in these threads.
What are you talking about?
Ekholm was not better than Ellis last post season.
Lots of people claimed he was a 2nd pairing D all offseason LOL. He's been a strong top pairing D who has played as a great #1 for the team through this season so far.
I won't throw I told you so's until he does it at least for all this year, but yeah, I'd say he is under rated.
Underrated:
Rielly
Nurse
Boychuck
Forsling
Overrated:
Parayko
Trouba
Gudbranson
I think those people probably just hate the Leafs, or their fans, I'm pretty sure everyone knows he's a top pairing D
How could Gudbranson possibly be overrated? Everyone thinks he sucks.
Everyone online but apparently theres GMs who want his crappy ass
Burns relies too much on other players and his shot for his offense.
