Brodeur probably better places in the underrated thread because no one appreciates him it seems...they look at numbers, make some mental adjustment for a defensive system they probably don't understand and wonder why he didn't give up 1 goal per game instead of 2...so he probably shouldn't go in this thread...
Neither should Crosby, I can't imagine how anyone could come to that conclusion...he's done nothing but meet and exceed the lofty hype that was set forth for him...he's been the best player in the game all-around since he stepped onto the ice I gotta believe...
Dionne gets trashed for his playoff failures and never seems to get any respect...not sure who it is that's overrating him...but maybe, I'm not sure on that one...
Messier is overrated to me though, so is Forsberg (though, he's another one like Brodeur where now it's coming full circle and eventually he'll be underrated again), looks like we came to the conclusion that Sawchuk is/was, whatever that's worth...not a lot of respect for Richter on this board, but outside of it, yes, he's overrated (many believe he's top-10 ever it seems)...
I'll throw in Tim Thomas, Eddie Shore, Guy Lafleur might be a touch overrated in terms of what he accomplished vs. what he could do outside the dynasty years...
You're not serious, are you?
