The most underrated players in the NHL

[stuffradio]

Schneider - amazing sv% and gaa with a pretty meh D core.
Wheeler
Little
Andy Greene
Bergeron
Burns - recognized as a very good player but still under rated IMO
Zuc - even though I cannot stand the Rangers
M.Stone
Killorn
Stepniak
Spezza
Luongo

... many players you mentioned here are not underrated. A lot of people recognise them as being really good, like Schneider, Luongo and Burns.

Jannik Hansen is very underrated though IMO.

I see a thread Mr. Slavin thread on the main board as we speak.

I was the one that bumped it

 

[Rebels57]

-Stempniak
-Gudas (mainly because everyone thinks he is just a bottom-pair thug but is actually really good at defending and first-pass)
-Henrique

 

[Kitchener Boy]

David Pastrnak

 

[groov2]

It's been said by other Canuck fans, but I can certainly vouch for Jannik Hansen.

 

[Roboturner913]

Hjalmarsson is a great choice

 

[BrendanGallagher11]

David desharnais

 

[ObscureAlien]

Blake Wheeler

 

[Cats2TheCup]

Barkov is underrated by the media but not by hockey fans.

 

[VanJack]

Need to mention another Canuck--Brandon Sutter.....he's doing it all for VanCity in the early going....scores, kills penalties and wins faceoffs....finally healthy and out from under the shadow of Crosby and Malkin.

 

[Alwalys]

Maybe not the most underrated but Hornqvist brings more than you see on the score sheet

yeh he knows how to low key take out a knee

 

[rynryn]

first name from the Wild would be Spurgeon.

First name that comes to mind from another team is Bryan Little.

 

[King Weber]

Ribeiro

say what you will about him, but he's still among the best passers in the league.

 

[DrMom9900]

Vinny Trocheck on the Panthers. Guy is a pest, good 2 way player, great shot, and speedy all wrapped into one. Oh and hes good at faceoffs. Guy does everything and is easily my favorite panther

 

[boompuffboom]

paul byron

 

[izzy]

Ribeiro

say what you will about him, but he's still among the best passers in the league.

Also one of the sickest stickhandlers

 

[Billdo]

Andy Greene although a lot of what he does will not show up statistically.

 

[Afterburner]

Blake Wheeler

This.

 

[rumrokh]

Alex Killorn is the most underrated to me. Solid player, playoff beast and no one talks about him.

Great call.

 

[biturbo19]

My Top-10 would look something like:


1.Cam Fowler.
2.David Krejci.
3.David Savard.
4.Adam Henrique.
5.Jannik Hansen.
6.Alex Edler.
7.Bryan Little.
8.Marcus Johansson.
9.Erik Haula.
10.Ryan Suter.



With an honourable mention to Jonathan Toews, though it's an odd one where he somehow appears to be both severely overrated, while also over-publicized to the point where he's often accused of being overrated.

David desharnais

You know your probably right in the money.

 

[Sheva7]

Casey Cizikas and Nick Leddy

 

[SnoopDogg]

I think I already posted here but another homer vote for Sam Reinhart, the kid is a stud but won't get the attention he deserves because of Eichel, it also doesn't help how "everybody remembers #1" so he's overshadowed by Ekblad.

Pretty sure he had 23G in his rookie season which is pretty d*** good if you ask me

 

[Dog]

Kyle Okposo

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

For the Habs, i think it's Jeff Petry. They guy is one of the fastest skater in the league, he moves the puck from end to end and can lay the big hits wile putting up points. He was our best player after Carey when we acquired him for the 2015 playoffs. He really changed our d-squad.
