Jones is overrated...

I thought about putting Johnson, but I ended up going with Zaitsev

Both guys are way worse than Ceci

Most overpaid would be Karlsson and best offensive defenseman would have to be any of Krug, Makar, or Hughes right now. Best rounded dman is Petro or Hedman right now

Zaitsev is awful, but far from the worst in the league. Also huge lol at Morgan Reilly being the best offensive Dman.

Um. I don’t take issue with spurgeon as most underrated. I think the rest is frankly, really bad. Starting from the top, Dougie isn’t near top ten. You’ve got a guy that doesn’t play in the league as the most physical, which is kinda funny.

I think Chara still gets the nod for best penalty killer. Is it solely because he has a special exemption for an extra long stick? Probably. Does it matter? Not really.

I didnt want to put Hamilton for 3 categories

Also Rielly was injured a lot this year. But when fully healthy in the playoffs, he was a beast

Korbinian Holzer makes Zaitsev look like a Norris player, and was a full time NHL player this year. There are plenty of options who are way worse than Zaitsev.

As for Offensive Dmen, Reilly had a legitimately fantastic offensive season last year, but he's never consistently been at that level, and likely never will be. He's not better than John Carlson, and even though the end is rapidly approaching the end, Burns has a way more impressive track record over the last 3 years. Also I know they're rookies, but Hughes and Makar have already reached levels as high or better than Reilly, and they have way more room to grow.
