The Most "Meh" Hockey Player 2017 edition

[Anisimovs AK]

Does "meh" mean average or does it mean boring and not special?

I think its both. A player so average at everything that they are boring and not special. Nick Spaling and James Sheppard come to mind

Guy goes on the ice and he doesn't hurt you.but he doesn't help you. He's vanilla

 

[LTIR]

Ryan Nugent Hopkins has been Meh for a long time.

 

[RBZ]

Lars Eller

 

[AfroThunder396]

Certainly not Josefson, he's not good enough to be average.

The answer is Sergey Kalinin.

 

[Raymondo316]

Nick Spaling
Peter Holland

 

[clunk]

Will always be Chris Higgins.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

It's a weird dialogue on our board how useless he is. He just has 20% of our PP goals. That's it.

Other than Semin, and Mike Green towards the end, I can't think of a more polarizing figure on the Caps in the Ovechkin era. I couldn't stand having him on the team. My condolences.

 

[BlueDream]

Carl Gunnarsson is a solid one. You can watch many Blues games and not realize he played. A lot of times that's a good thing for a d-man, and he's considered a #4 or something like that, but... I can't think of a single thing he's really known for being good at. Doesn't create any offense, not physical, can't score, not a great outlet passer, not dominant defensively.

 

[Tripod]

Matt Read.

Even his name is meh.

I have no issues with Troy, whatsoever.
Has come exactly as advertised; scoring on the PP; more or less 0.5 PPG player. Still hasn't had any kind of hot run with the team. Hasn't hurt the team either. He's been playing well as of late with Versteeg and Monahan.

 

[Sureves]

Christopher Kelly.

 

[Clode]

Riley Nash

 

[Liminality]

My yearly reminder that Matt Stajan is in the league.

Same here.

He'll always be my go to answer for this.

 

[BobbyShehan]

Las Vegas upcoming roster. And Chris Higgins.

 

[chunkylover53]

You could in theory dig up all their data on pts, CF, etc. and find out who has the most average stats. Although somebody could be streaky and average out so maybe not lol. I always thought MAF was an average goalie...but he'd have some really bad stretches (and a few good ones I guess).

 

[Pavels Dog]

Riley Sheahan.

Which is a shame because he used to look like a very solid 30-40 point #3C. Now he has zero goals and you need to really look for him to even notice him most games.

Who is the one player or players that when you watch them you're just kinda indifferent to it all. Since the GOAT Chris Higgins is currently not in the NHL who will retake his throne for most average NHL player. I'd like to nominate Tom Pyatt and Jacob Josefson

inspired by http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1932383

There's one thing Im curious- I watched maybe a few games of Chris Higgins in my lifetime, and I never paid much attention to him, but I've seen that HFB meme about Higgins being "most avarage player", and my question is- if he was, indeed, most avarage player, why he is out of league at just 33 years old ??? Avarage means that if we'd rank all players in the league from best to worst (or from worst to best), he'd be somewhere in the middle, not out of league... Same thing goes with some of responses in this thread... Here we have bottom pair defensemen, 4th line forwards, or "nearly whole roster" of a lottery team... These guys should be closer to bottom, not "avarage"...

 

[TT1]

Brian Flynn is the epitome of meh players.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Matt Read.

Even his name is meh.

I counter with Dale Weise. If it wasn't for announcers mention his name once in a blue moon, I wouldn't even know he is on a team. League wide I'll probably nominate Lee Stempniak. To this day I don't even know what he looks like and other than him having decentish numbers on couple of teams I don't really know much more about the guy.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

The red wings roster.

Without a question the most mediocre team in Nhl, looks like their fan base is due to some incredibly dull and lean years.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Carl Gunnarsson

Last year Gunnarsson was better than Bouwmeester... This year yeah I agree he's one of those players that is just a typical NHL player. He is not bad at anything (But pointing up points), but he's not good at anything either.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Yeah he's good defensively, decent outlet passer, not good offensively, mep physically, etc. He outperformed Bouwmeester last year though.

 

[Salsa Shark]

Roszival

 

[Nucker101]

Brandon Sutter. He's a forward who can play almost 20 minutes a night and just be meh. Not that noticeable, won't make egregious mistakes or have a shift where he really stands outs offensively unless he scores.
