I always thought Parise was underrated. Yeah he got a big contract but does that make him overrated? I think those are two different things
Overrated players from the 2010s
- Thread starter Kappy
- Start date
Subban actually was one of the best d-men between 2013-2018 ish but yeah he's fallen hard in the last couple years

Zero shot he gets in
He was well under point per game every single season in the 2010's except for 2010
no major awards
I believe he has a 2nd NHL all-team award in 2010

I didn't realize players without any hardware or even a 100 point season were close to being HoF calibre. James Cameron needs to raise the bar again.

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.
I always had a soft spot for Rick Nash for his performances for Team Canada at the World Championships.

Corey Perry. The year he scored 50 and won the Hart gave him this rep of a superstar and a massive contract he never lived up to. Him being a 50-60 point player the rest of the decade was his real self but he was still constantly talked about as if he was this big star until near the end.

Milan Lucic single handedly wasted dozens of top-90 picks for copycat GMs.

Its funny that people like taking players down as overrated while never specifiying how exactly they were rated
I always find it funny when players who were mocked by everyone is named as "Overrated".
This "Overrated" argument always differs where people judge things from. Listening to the gushing over Nash as a franchise changing superstar was a little much where I live.Also no one on this website has ever liked Nash (except you apparently) so he can’t really be overrated.

Also, I think Nash started to get pushback from fans sick of hearing how amazing he was without doing anything. Same thing happened with Toews.

See, you are assuming this. That always doesn't happen. I saw him on good teams and he was pretty much a playoff bust.

Even after. He was a beast the year the Sens were 1 game away from the finals but lost to the Pens.
That was the end. For Karlsson and the Sens.
He's been very good offensively and average defensively for a long time. Players such as he tend to compile a lot of value. He's had a better career than Rick Nash, for example.
That is a good pick. He has never been nearly as good as his hype.
He has only reached 70 points one time (70 in 2014) and only 60 points one time (67 in 2011).
Every other year has been below 60 points, yet he has been labelled as an all-star calibre 1st liner for much of his career.
That is also a good pick. I never thought he was a top 5 defenseman in the entire NHL like some people thought.
He was the 2010s version of Tomas Kaberle during the 2000-2010 decade.

Rick Nash is one of the most hilariously overrated players I've seen play in 30 years. Every year was his breakout year but he was a 30/30 players through and through - treated like a pt/game or better player.
Meanwhile people are like "Is Huberdeau really that good?" "is Draisaitl bad?"

OP is looking for specific examples I believe<your team's best player>, obviously, although homer fans of <your team> will keep pretending otherwise.
And while I'm here, anyone who suggests <my team's best player> is clearly a fool who doesn't know hockey.
