Simple question with no need to really explain... who is the most overrated player in the NHL at the moment.
My vote; Cale Makar.

0/10Claude Giroux
That was EXACTLY my point about Giroux in the other thread. Sometimes player can be both underrated and overrated depending on the circumstances. I think both players were underrated nationally for a while, and then the push back locally was so hard that they became overrated. Unfortunately most people don't understand nuance and everything needs to be black and white to make sense for them.Barkov.
He was once so underated that people began to overhype him. I think he's a top 20 centre in the league but not top 5 as some rate him.
Same can be said about Makar, Hughes.Morgan Rielly. Can put up points but he's a massive liability in his own end. Defensemen who can't play a lick of defense should not be getting Norris votes.
Makar isn’t a liability defensively. I think he’s overrated when people already have him in their top 5-10 dman. I believe that he’s already top 10 dman offensively but he still has couple things to learn defensively. He isn’t that bad defensively when he gets caught most of the time it’s him being out of position or bad coverage but those are things that can be fixed well I believe so for a rookie dman that’s just stepping in the NHL. Difference is Hughes and Makar are only 20-21 years old while Rielly is 26.Same can be said about Makar, Hughes.
Considering Duncan Keith was just named one of the top 100 players of all-time over on the History Board, I'll go with him
