To be over-rated you need to be hyped. If anything Beech has been the opposite almost since he got here by many if not most Pens' fans. And though injuries played some part, and he looked ok parts of last year, he has pretty much lived down to the lack of hype throughout his career here. Sure, alot of us hope for the best this next year, his last chance I would think, but in a whistling past the graveyard way. I have not seen very many he's the second coming posts about him.
Fleury would be a better example as there is strong hype about him. But he is so young, only 20, goaltenders often flounder at that age, and there is real talent there for anyone to see, just no consistency yet. Malkin seems to be living up to the hype. The rest? Orpik is about hyped and thought of where he is. The silly comparisons a small handful aside, most see him for what he is.
Most of the rest have some talent but no one sees anyone of them as potential super stars in the league, just good solid players. So if I had to pick one it would be Fleury, but very reluctantly for the reasons above. Right now it is almost silly to peg Fleury with that tag until he gets a bit older.
