Also, I laughed way too hard at this.Hey! This is a family forum.
I'm just saying his endorsement potential is a fraction of what it would be in a big market, or even a small American market.
Case in point, Pittsburgh is considered a small TV market by American pro sports standards. However, it is still almost twice as big as Edmonton, and both Sid and Geno are world mega stars. I don't think McDavid is getting that kind of attention among non hard-core NHL followers.
I had no idea he put up that many points, literally have heard nothing about him. Good answerFor the Flyers, probably Jake Voracek
Quietly had an 85 point season last year (his 2nd 80 plus point season in the last 4 years) in the shadow of Girouxs offense and Couturiers two-way play.
Gibson as a starter for Anaheim the past three seasons, he has been rock solid. Out of all number 1 goalies who managed to play over 40 games he finished 4th in save percentage at .926 behind Raanta .930 Fleury .927 and Rinne .927. Most astonishing is the fact he received ZERO votes for the Vezina trophy this season from the leagues GM's (no 1st, 2nd or 3rd place votes).John Gibson. Only 25 and already putting up top-5 numbers for the last two/three years. If he hadn't been hurt in the 2017 playoffs there's a good chance Anaheim would've gone to the SCF.
Barkov gets talked about constantly.Off HF Barkov doesn't get nearly the amount of love he deserves.
He gets pretty fairly rated in here though.
Actually it is Huberdeau. It's Trocheck too but at least he gets some talk. Nobody says anything about Huberdeau.It's a Panther but it's not Barkov or Huberdeau. It's Trocheck.
Homer vote, but I really think Horvat will have a Scheifele-esque career trajectory. Esoecially once some of our young talent starts rolling in.
Any player from a Canadian team is immediately disqualified from this thread.
Barkov, the most underrated player by media atleast
