Player with the best underrated specific quality or Je ne sais quoi

If you're not quite sure what I'm getting at, just look at all his goals in just the past season -- to get what I'm getting at:

Gallagher is very good, he's a player i try to play like at forward lol

Another good example is a guy like ZAR, just a relentless puckhound, does not allow anything easily, is very very good at keeping pucks out of his zone and not allowing shots

For the Wild: Brodin's skating. It's unreal, he's so incredibly fluid on the ice but you never hear anything about it nationally. He's not necessarily a speedster, but his agility and edge work is incredible and his transition to skating backwards is sublime.

Here's a pretty good article by a Habs blogger on Brodin. It has Dumba in it as well, but the writer included some clips that really highlight Brodin's skating.

so basically a guy who goes to the dirty areas and gets rewarded is now Je ne sais quoi?

I mean I hate to break it to you, but there are whole histories of guys who have done it.
His problem will be that eventually the beating will wear on him, he'll deal with injury and decline. Like usually happens with those kinds of players.


But to answer your question, I think Brandon Tanev is one of those under rated guys with underrated qualities.
People laughed at his contract this year. His career high is 14 goals. But his impact on the ice is far greater. It's beyond just physical play, checking, defensive play. It's the fact he will go through a wall.
Draw penalties. Put teams on heels with speed. And in general be disruptive in ways that far exceed his offensive output.

I don't think there are a lot of guys like that in the league. I would classify Tom Wilson as one as well but he knows how to find the net consistently. But his play is much more than finding the net.

casey cizikas is super relentless on the puck, hes a good skater, has a quick (not necasarily hard) shot and checks and brings the isles energy like ive never seen. best 4th liner in the league IMO
