Some Flyers fans absolutely love Simmonds who is not great 5 on 5, and think very highly of Coburn who in my opinion is an above average defenseman, but hardly anything special. Just curious who your type 3 overrated Flyers are. Here is mine:
1. Simmonds
- very good pp player, but not a good 5 on 5 player. Beloved because he is large and physical. Ironically, he often loses board battles and despite being a good skater is not a particularly good defensive player.
2. Coburn
- overrated b/e of his height and skating ability. He has terrible offensive skills and no hockey IQ. His physical gifts make him an above average defenseman. He is held in such high esteem b/e the Flyers lack any legitimate defensive depth.
3. Raffl
- he is a third or fourth line player. He is not a top 6 player. He plays hard and is excellent at winning board battles but lacks offensive creativity and the ability to finish.
