Who Is The Best Player That Nobody Talks About?

[BrindamoursNose]

Giroux arguably was MVP last year and dude doesn't get talked about.

 

[Stephen]

The hipster pick is Barkov.

 

[Conbon]

It's Palat

 

[b in vancouver]

I'd probably say Blake Wheeler.

Out of the young kids I'd probably say David Pastrnak.

And all the vets whom play for The Wild. How often does anyone talk about E. Staal, Suter, Vanek, Parise?

 

[blood gin]

In years past it would be Steve Larmer

 

[The Kingslayer]

My homer pick: Mikko Rantanen

Otherwise I would say one of the Philly boys Voracek or Giroux. Giroux had one of the quietest 100 point campaigns of all time haha.

 

[stranger]

I'd probably say Blake Wheeler.

Out of the young kids I'd probably say David Pastrnak.

And all the vets whom play for The Wild. How often does anyone talk about E. Staal, Suter, Vanek, Parise?

Probably because they're the leaders of mediocrity.

 

[authentic]

Morgan Rielly?

 

[Bedards Dad]

Morgan Rielly?

That's Morgan "1st in points" Rielly to you.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Because he is riding Mc:s tail.

Folks are still gonna try and push that narrative hey?


Will make for some hilarious bumps in a few years. The kid is an elite, superstar talent.

Hampus Lindholm is arguably a top 10 dman. He gets way less attention then he does.
Colton Parayko is also arguably a top 10 dman and he doesn't get the recognition he deserves

Parayko is not top 10.

 

[Kshahdoo]

This

 

[hirawl]

Sammy Vatanen is an absolute stud and his name you don't see mentioned too often here

 

[solidprospect]

called dadonov, didn't realize he was 29, thought he was younger.

 

[Oleksiy Armyakov]

My Matthews is by far the most underrated player in NHL history. People still rate him worse than overrated McDavid and it hurts me so much

 

[Goose]

Wheeler for me.

 

[GirardIsStupid]

Austin Matthews.

 

[jonu]

Giroux

 

[SensFactor]

I hate him naturally but Austin Matthews is a beast and I fully expect him to be better than Mcdavid. His hockey iq is off the charts.

 

[King Mapes]

Essentially think of guys on smaller fan bases. Barkov is much better than advertised. Guy is so good at both ends.
Gotisbehere is another that I barely hear of.

 

[WJCJ]

Getzlaf gets talked about when Anaheim is brought up, sure, but A) Anaheim isn't brought up as often as many teams and B) he's mysteriously absent in a lot of top center talk where Anaheim isn't specifically brought up. He's been in the league long enough that he's kind of old news these days, and people seem to forget about him in those discussions. I've even seen some people say he's been on the decline lately, despite having one of the best PPGs over the last 2 seasons.

Right, but he isn't the best player who isn't talked about at all because he gets talked about all the time. He gets passed over more now than he used to because of guys like McDavid and Mathews, etc but so does Joe Thornton and Patrick Kane, the thing is that people still talk about them all the time.

Who is the guy on the Ducks that nobody talks about but is still a very good player? When people discuss the Ducks I always hear about Getzlaf, Perry, Rakell, Kesler, Silverberg, Lindholm, Fowler, and Gibson. The answer for the Ducks is someone other than those players.

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Definitely Marchessault. What an underrated player.

 

[DangleCity]

Bergeron

 

[LABound]

Suter Dubnyk
Giordano Raanta.
Stralman
Niskanen
Edler
C.Miller
Lindholm

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Blake Wheeler and Claude Giroux are both legit top-tier players who seem to get swept under the rug.
