Draisaitl is seriously underrated on these boards.

Stone, Gallagher, Couturier, Bergeron, plus many, many, many more.

seems to be the opposite.

Nah, most think he's not that great and McDavid somehow magically made him into a 50-goal scorer.

People rank Kane as the 1st or 2nd best RW or even winger in general. He scores at a lesser rate than players such as Marner, Kase, Panarin, Hall, etc., and barely more than Marchand, Stone, and Pastrnak. Plus is much less of a defensive threat than more or less all of those listed. He's just a flashy player at this point, and doesn't put up the numbers to back up him being a top 5 winger in the league.

Kadri is a good 3C. Not much more. He's very meh offensively, good defensively. From what I've seen, people seem to think he's much more than he really is. This list is all subjective also, don't forget. Just because I'm saying he's overrated doesn't mean that you may rate him as such also.

Some guy said Faksa could've won the Selke in this comment section, think that kinda helps justify why he's here. He's an average 3C.

Petterson, like Kane, is pretty harsh defensively, and doesn't put up 'Top 10 C' numbers offensively either, yet plenty of people will still try to argue him being top 10.

WHAT??? You don't know hockey if you don't think Kane is a top 3 winger in the league. Just last year...

Kane
44 goals (5th best, behind Ovy, Draisaitl, Tavares, Stamkos)
110 points (3rd best, behind McDavid and Kucherov)
1.36 ppg (3rd best, behind Kuch and McDavid)
.54 gpg (7th best, behind Ovy, Drais, Arvidsson, Pastrnak, Tavares, Stamkos)

Yeah so wondering where Marner, Panarin, and Hall are that you think score more then Kane. None of those guys are ahead of him that you mentioned.

Kane is arguably the most elusive skater and stick handler in the league. There is a reason he's considered one of the best.

2.17 5v5 P1/60 is less than those that I listed. 15th in the league for forwards (min. 300 minutes)
2.83 5v5 P/60. 5th in the league for forwards (behind Kuch, Marner, etc.)

Comparing that to someone like Mark Stone, who is one of, if not the best two way forwards in the league:
1.81 5v5 P1/60
2.23 5v5 P/60
But where Kane is awful on defense, Stone is fantastic.

1.96 5v5 P1/60 isn't a great number for someone who people say is top 10 in his position. If he put up better defensive numbers, perhaps, but his great year isn't all it's cracked up to be. You can't look that much into the amount of points to judge a player.

You can't??

If a guy is consistently among the leaders in the league in both goals and points, I think you can draw some conclusions from that. Name one non-elite player that has scored 50 goals / 105 points in a season over the past 20 years.

Even if you look at the past 3 years, Draisaitl is 7th in the league for points and 12th for goals. He's 11th in P/GP in that span.

I wouldn’t call Tarasenko overrated. I think the thing with him is that his breakout season was so absurdly good and people thought he could be a top~10 or so player but he’s never been close to that good since. I would say he’s overrated as a goal-scorer but he’s still as good a hockey player as people say.

If you look at the past 3 years combined, Tarasenko has scored the 10th most goals in the league, with 105. He's not far behind the 3rd place players, Tavares and McDavid, who are tied at 112.

If you look at the past 5 years, Tarasenko ranks 3rd - just 1 goal behind Tavares but he's played 6 fewer games.

I wouldn't say he's overrated as a goal-scorer. He's clearly elite.

Yes, but a lot of people thought and still think that he can get 50 which was clearly unrealistic. Tarasenko is obviously elite, he just has never been close to how good he was in 14-15

how is this trolling?

Let's see, Draisitl overrated? No...the top 6 are all not overrated, burns , ghost, Buff, and Werenski are all not overrated and only goalie could maybe be price...
