What player will be massively overrated following his playoff performance?

[I am not exposed]

MAF.

There are people saying he a HoFer.

Wtf

On sportsnet they were saying 1st ballot Hall of Fame.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Probably Kucherov because he's a cheater

but does he eat pumpkins?

 

[Paradise Circus]

Pelech is currently up there with Slavin when it comes to his game defensively. He doesn’t get enough coverage because he plays for a smaller market team but to say he’s massively overrated is beyond stupid. If you want to see some who’s massively overrated in the same series just watch Sergachev play.

i agree with you, I’m just saying he will probably get an inflated pay Day - wouldn’t call him massively overrated…tried to pick someone from every final 4 team.

 

[powerstuck]

Carey Price. Don't get me wrong the guy is flat out amazing but he isn't getting any younger, and that contract is kind of tough, especially for a goalie.

Doesn't really answer the question tho. Price still have 4 years on his contract. If anything, he will have finally earned what he's been paid for the least 4 years.

Because he is.
Better numbers than price these playoffs.

All time stats in wins and shutouts up there with all time greats in regular season and playoffs.

People think Price is a hof goalie when he's a joke.

 

[OvieGreat8]

Price is still under. 500 for playoffs even with this lucky run.

 

[KingDeathMetal]

Kucherov. F*** guy puts up zero points in the regular season, now all of a sudden he's a world beater? I'm not buyin it.

 

[lazycop]

Martinez
Armia
Pelech
Goodrow

As an Isles fan I kinda wish he was overrated lol. But he's not, not by a long shot. And he will get seriously paid.

Nothing to do with this post-season. He's just really, really good.

 

[Two4Fighting]

Probably Kucherov because he's a cheater

I agree with this so much, he cheated to play only the playoffs games and now all Tampa fans want to crowning King!...sign of the times, Win is everything, even if it takes cheating!

 

[Two4Fighting]

He just allowed a weak tiebreaker during the 3rd period and literally shifts later SN is describing his brilliance.

Dude is like a f***ing deity.

Not a fan of Montreal, but the dude is playing great, he makes a lot of the saves look very easy.
In fact the whole team is doing great.

 

[The GM]

Fernando Pisani

 

[ole ole]

Better Numbers than Price in these playoffs you claim.
Do you just pull words out of your ass.
Games played both 15
Wins
Price -10
Fleury -9
Losses
Price 5
Flurey-6
Save %
Price-.931
Fleury-.921

GAA
Fleury-1.97
Price-2.09

Now what were you saying about Fleury having Better numbers than price these playoffs.

 

[Fan from AK]

His scoring comparables are Buchnevich, Lindholm, Miller, Palat, Strome, and Gaudreau, didn't come close to PPG.

Don't be foolish. I guess you missed his performance last year as well. THE ONLY 2 ISLANDERS wins were when he was NOT in the lineup.

 

[kthx]

Mackinnon.

Every season he scores something crazy like 250 points in first 7 games and then he just vanishes.
And people somehow rate him as a #1 player in the NHL.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Danault and Armia have probably got themselves a nice payday coming after blowing chunks in the regular season.

Nah, Danault is a legit good player. He'll be worth the money he gets. Armia however is pretty much useless most of the time. I'm happy with his performance in these playoffs but someone is going to overpay for his services this offseason and I hope it won't be the Habs.

Mackinnon.

They're not wrong.

Id take MacKinnon over peak Crosby and McDavid combined just to see those 7 games. 250 is a lot of points

 

[theimmortal1]

I don't think Kuch is the only reason for that difference. He's part of it, don't get me wrong, although the flip side of that coin is also true -- Point turns Kucherov into a playmaking monster.

Point doesn't only score from in close though. He scores pretty much any way you can think. And the crazy part is he has a playmaker's skillset. It's his mentality, mainly, that makes him such an effective goal-scorer. But the big thing is the timing of it. He thrives under pressure like very, very few players.

That’s why these threads are tricky. Overrated relative to what? Is Point a goal a game player?

Point is elite. Full stop.

His playoff performances will certainly make people think he’s a top 5 guy in the NHL. Heck look at his playoff goal totals. His agent will certainly be pitching he’s the BEST player in the NHL.

Which is really what this thread is about. Perception vs reality.

Reality is Point is a top 15/20 player playing with a top 5 player (Kuch) that has A+ vision.

If someone, and many will, think he’s a top 5 guy, then he’s overrated.

 

[Rebels57]

Martinez and Danault seem like good answers.

Martinez is too old to warrant a big contract this summer but some desperate GM, probably Fletcher in Philly, will give him like 3-4 years at over $4 million.

 

[TOGuy14]

Josh Bailey, Joel Armia

 

[TropicOfNoReturn]

MAF.

Wtf

Is this a joke? Fleury is an absolute hall of famer. I really didn't think that was any question...? I'm shocked anyone could doubt it

 

[CokenoPepsi]

He's played for a long time and has been fortunate to be on some good teams, but what about his play makes him a hall of famer?

Hell he hasn't even won a Vezina

 

[GJB]

My answer would be Phillip Danault.

- he is getting a ton of hype for being a top shutdown center
- due for a new contract and is UFA
- there will be a lot of pressure on MTL to keep him, French player playing in Montreal
- overrated because as good as he is defensively, he's played the most of any Montreal forward and only provided 2 assists in 15gp. A forward playing that much has to produce more.

I think the contract he ends up with will be way too high given his lack of offense.

 

[jfhabs]

Chiarot and Edmundson are already being put on pedestals in many habs fans minds...

both are playing really gritty, high effort, put it all on the line type of performances... and both are, if we're being honest, very limited players who should not be subject to the 22-25 min a night they are courageously taking on. Without Price behind them, the holes in their respective games would be exposed far more readily. Both are solid, but unspectacular, 2nd pairing dmen caliber players (or excellent 3rd pairing dmen), but some fans are praising them as bonafide top-3 dmen... a level that their games just doesn't live up to.

I agree , but we have Price and these 2 have been pretty amazing atpreventing high danger chances so far... sure they aren't fancy or offensively gifted/productive, but that's not the habs play style anyway

 

[Kojo]

Kucherov. He's already massively overrated. Who is the best D in the league? His teammate. Who is the best Goalie in the league? His teammate. On top of that he has all sorts of very good players to play with. Stamkos, Point, etc.

 

[JoelWarlord]

If Chiarot ends up with a decent plus-minus next year after these playoffs he's going to get paiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid
