Description

Before I start, I want to be clear that I’m a bruins fan and try to watch as much hockey around the league as I can. While I always watch highlights of every game, it’s hard to watch other games during the time slot of my bruins. That being said, when I do get to watch other teams, here is my list for most underrated player in each team.

The player doesn’t have to be a big time point producer, the player COULD be but these players just don’t really get a lot of buzz around the league. Let me know what you think or who you’d change.

ANA- Hampus Lindholm
ARZ- Christian Dvorak / Jakob Chychrun
BOS- Brandon Carlo
BUF- Marcus Johansson
CGY- Elias Lindholm
CAR- Jaccob Slavin
COL- Samuel Girard
CBJ- Pierre Luc-Dubois / Ryan Murray
CHI- Drake Cagguila
DAL- Dennis Gurianov / Radek Faksa / Esa Lindell (hard to choose)
DET- Tyler Bertuzzi
EDM- Darnell Nurse / Ryan Nugent Hopkins
FLA- Noel Acciari
LA- Alex Iafallo
MIN- Kevin Fiala
MTL- Ben Chiarot
NJD- Kyle Palmieri
NSH- Ryan Ellis
NYI- Ryan Pulock or Adam Pelech
NYR- Brendan Lemieux
OTT- Chris Tierney
PHI- Matt Niskanen
PIT- Brian Dumoulin
SJS- Logan Couture
STL- Jaden Schwartz or Colton Parayko
TBL- Anthony Cirelli
TOR- Kasperi Kapanen
VAN- Bo Horvat
VGK- Nate Schmidt
WPG- Kyle Connor / Nik Ehlers / Josh Morrissey
WSH- Lars Eller

Most of these guys aren't even underrated.

Nice thread, interesting choices, hard to argue since it’s the opinion of a Boston fan

Most? Did you read the list? I only really listed about 5-6 “star”players. All these players don’t get too much attention and do little things to help their team win.

The only guys who might not be considered underrated are Kyle Connor and Fiala because they probably got more attention this season. If that’s the case then I’d put Carson Soucy or Jordan Greenway for Minnesota

I'd say parayko is almost overrated at this point. Perron would be my st Louis pick.
I think Ellis is appropriately rated. I'd pick bonino or jarnkrok.
You could've picked literally anybody on Carolina and probably Florida too

Maybe Parayko is getting more buzz after the cup win but I definitely wouldn’t call him overrated. 23 mins a night on one of the best teams in the league and he’s an absolute rock. But yes Perron is a good one too.

I almost went with Bonino but I’m just huge fans of Ellis and Ekholm, what they do for Nashville is tremendous

And yeah it was very hard to choose for Florida and Carolina. I almost said MacKenzie Weegar for Florida and Brock McGinn, Warren Foegle, Brett Pesce for Carolina
