Overrated players from the 2010s

[TheHelmet]

Parise

between 2010 and 2020 he earned a little under $80 million
FOR WHAT??????????????????

 

[Kegsey]

Prime Rick Nash was an absolute monster of a player. If he'd had anything resembling a real 1C in either Columbus or New York, he would have hit 50 goals without breaking a sweat.

Always wondered what it would have been like if the Sharks traded for him and he got to play with Jumbo in the NHL. A couple of those seasons he could have scored 60.

 

[jetsforever]

As good as he was for some time, Jonathan Toews

 

[FractionTwo]

does someone like Matt Belesky count?

 

[pbgoalie]

Subban and Rick Nash are my picks.

I didn’t get to see him much other than Ducks games, but he (Nash) was always good against us

Also no one on this website has ever liked Nash (except you apparently) so he can’t really be overrated.

The most oddly maligned player.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Taylor Hall for sure. He’s ok. People on here have been calling him a superstar for years. Can’t believe he won an mvp lol poor Kucherov

 

[Trinity]

Pretty much all Maple Leaf players.

 

[sharkhawk]

Eric karlsson. Great player and hall of famer, but heard so many people call him generational or automatic Norris trophy candidate. He wasn’t at that level

Carey price. Change above from Norris to vezina and remove hall of famer.

 

[Amazinmets73]

Duncan Keith
Dustin Byfuglien
Seth Jones
Vincent Lecavalier

Hall actually was an amazing player in 2018: he's just such a bad luck charm that its insane

Never really understood it.

The guy scored 38 and 40 goals in Columbus with centres like Peca, Malhotra, a 37 year old Fedorov, Brassard, etc.

Derick Brassard owes his slight window of being viewed as a top 6 C entirely to Nash.

 

[HF007]

Versteeg
Letang
Niemi
Cogliano

He always seemed like such a nice guy too.

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Neal
Kessel
Toews
Okposo
Turris
Gardiner
Duchene
Johansen

Crazy to me that a player who scored 40+ 3 times in his career is so discredited or even considered overrated. Sure, those last few years were rough but he had a great career.

They haven't played together a lot (at least in NYR). Brassard was viewed as a top 6 C because of his chemistry with Zuccarello.

 

[Mr Burns]

Crosby with all the talk, especially from Pens fans, about he is supposed to be the 5th greatest player of all time right behind Gretzky, Orr, Lemieux and Howe.

He is a great player for sure but 5th all time is a big LOL.

 

[DrewGl]

Zach Parise

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Eric karlsson. Great player and hall of famer, but heard so many people call him generational or automatic Norris trophy candidate. He wasn’t at that level

He was a finalist for the Norris in 4/6 seasons between 2012-2017, and it's pretty clear that it would've been 5/6 had Cooke not injured him in 2013-13. That's pretty much an automatic Norris candidate in his prime.

 

[Nocashstyle]

Parise

between 2010 and 2020 he earned a little under $80 million
FOR WHAT??????????????????

Basically because of 2009

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Pulled from NaturalStatTrick, in the 14-15 season Nash played 681 5v5 minutes with Brassard, 297 without. He was Nash's most common C by far.

Ummm.... Parise is underrated and not far from HoF caliber.

He legit was pre-Cooke.

Nash is such a weird one- on one hand he was held back by terrible rosters, on the other it could be argued he never elevated those teams. Idk, I feel like he woulda been even more deadly for 2-3 years on a good team, but he also wouldn’t be the guy to lift a team himself. Either way his peak was wasted, I just think it’s interesting that imo he’d make an amazing #2 but a terrible #1 best player.
