What player will be massively overrated following his playoff performance?

[Wackster]

sure... speaking of the Knights forwards, would you say they are having an AWESOME series despite their gooseggs? guess your infinite hockey wisdom has it's own look and feel

Well those player are there to put ppoints on the board... If you need Chiarot to do that you will have a Buffalo Sabres type of season

 

[Seb]

Having a team full of overrated players has been worth it

Go find how many dmen in playoff history that have played top pairing/25+ min and contributed zero offensively...

Wouldn't categorize that as awesome.

Vasilevsky could steal a series if he had to; it's just that he's never been forced to do it. Price is playing very well in these playoffs, but age has caught up with him and he's no longer the superhuman he once was, whereas Vasilevsky is at his peak. So yeah, if they switched places, I think Tampa would be worse off.

What aspect of Price's game makes him "no longer the superhuman he once was"?

 

[TesseractPrice]

Habs: Byron, Staal, Evans
Leafs: Campbell, Hyman
Jets: No one
Knights: Martinez, maybe Nic Roy?

 

[LesCanadiens]

Price. He's been lights-out in just a handful of games and actually has let in some stinkers in just the same amount of games. Don't get me wrong, he's overall been outstanding and clearly the best goalie in the final 4, but he'll be touted the savior and likely win the Conn Smythe if Habs win the cup, when in fact, the team has allowed the fewest inner slot chances of any team in the playoffs. He's no Roy, Brodeur, Smith, Fuhr...etc, etc. IMO.

Evans????? Why?????????

Martinez is a turnover machine. Don't know how he'll be overrated.

You need to listen to the experts. The NHLPA and what they have voted for several years in a row now. But to quote the great GM... "There are millions of expert GM fans living in the basements of the parents house"

Price is good. Good team D and good goaltending go hand and hand. One needs the other to go on deep runs. I think you think Price should be able to shelter any team flaws on D right? It don't work that way

This post is a weak flame-job. Been watching the game for over 50 years. I think I'm qualified enough. Probably more than you. And yes, if you're being paid over 10m as a goalie, YOU SHOULD be at the most elite of elite levels and save the teams ass when called on. Not let floaters in from the blueline or high slot. Please check out highlights or full games of Roy or the other goalies I mentioned and maybe you'll have a better understanding. LMAO.

His triple axel has gotten a little slow over the years.

You are not more qualified than actual NHL players. But you can try to think you are....

Price is a generational talent in net. He's been among the best for pretty much a decade or more. That's rare. Usually goalies have a few years of being near the top.

The injury he sustained because of Scheifele's hit has given somewhat of a martyr status with some fans and some IMO overate his play these playoffs because of that

 

[Wats]

Not sure how a team will see Danault not producing any points and be able to overpay him with a flat cap. He's essentially showing to be a good 3rd liner. Feel Montreal is the perfect spot for him to make money. Armia likely going to get 4+M though, he keeps being clutch. Hopefully Chiarot/Byron get overrated enough to be traded for good value.

 

[cactusjack]

For those who said Danault, the guy has two assists, one of them being an empty netter. And he has been on the ice for 2 Montreal goals in 16 games, playing 20+ min a game. I'd be surprised if he's offered more than 4+M. There a limit of what you can pay a one-dimension defensive foward.

The guy is playing great defensively but he's not alone. He didn't stopped Matthews and Marner by himself. It's a 6-man defense in Montreal right now, and it not like the opponents are scoring when he's on the bench either.

 

[Necrobutcher]

Though the chances are getting slimmer and slimmer i gotta say i still believe Armia could become a late blooming star player. Like a great 60-70 point two way beast. He's such a skilled player but lacks finnish and consistency. Probably every Habs would think that he's offensively better than his stats. Maybe this playoff run will give him the extra confidence he needs.

He actually was considered pretty much a pure goal scorer when he was a youngster. No he's a defensive forward who sometimes couldn't score to save his life. Such a confusing career path.

Awesome was maybe the wrong wording, but he is pretty damn solid since yesterday... Got the feeling he will get exposed Tampa play with so much pace and are way more physical than I thought

 

[Kraken Jokes]

Joel Armia comes to mind.

I don't get people saying Danault? He's been terrible.

Worst take of the thread so far.

 

[ThreeLeftSkates]

Don't you mean Soon to Be Kraken

Leddy first.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

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

That aged well. Fleury with the Vezina.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

That aged well. Fleury with the Vezina.

Congrats to Fleury, still shouldn't be a hall of famer.

How many years can you actually say confidently he was even a top 5 goalie in the league?... Was responsible for so many early Penguin playoff exits

Pens seem to be doing so much better without him.

 

[Price is Wright]

Someone is going to give Danault a long term contract north of $6 million a season and end up buying him out in three years.

 

[robes1]

Point.

He's obviously a great player, but some people on here already talk like he's the best in the league.
