Probably, or people that just want clicks for hot takes, but I've still seen it, I strongly disagree, I would have given it to Panarin or Helle easily last yr, I just can't look past his woeful defense, and also lots of bointz from an absurd PP

I am certainly not a leafs fan, but he is easily a top 5 C in the league, at worst 4, and I could also argue point over Drai (but could also argue Drai over Barkov probably)


It could’ve went to anyone honestly. I agree that Draisaitl is definitely a top 5 center in the whole league! Draisaitl has gotten way better at defence this year, but yah last year he was only good on the PK, and not 5v5 defence.

You have the Wild's d-men in the wrong columns. Spurgeon gets all love (he's been the worst of MN top-4 d-men most of the season) and not much is said about Suter other than his ice time is down a lot.

It is nice to see JEE getting some love from the media.


I honestly really struggled with MIN, I disagree on Spurgeon, he's still a borderline top 15 d man imo, and I was thinking do people still think Suter is a top minute munching d man despite being not that good (like not as good as his peak, he's still very good) and not as much of a minute eater anymore, I just couldn't really think of anyone else, like maybe Dumba...???

Idk, I feel like Komarov still gets some people suggesting the leafs should bring him back and pay him that, I couldn't really think of anyone who's that overrated from the isles, I don't think Hedman deserves to be really in the Norris discussion, yet the NHLN poll had him as a near unanimous Norris favorite, Stone I really couldn't think of anyone on VGK so I went with a sterotypical/normal player, and the fact that anyone says McD isn't the best player in the league makes him underrated


Why would Hedman nkt be in the Norris voting? He is easily the best defenseman in rhe league. He had an AHLer as a defense partber tbis year and still put up 45 points

I havent seen a leafs fan talk high on Komarov in years. Just say Leddy or Bailey is overrated.

Martinez is probably the most underrated player on Vegas imo

Only idiots would ever say McDavid isnt the best player in the world. He's not underrated at all. - Flames fan

No we're not. You must not have watched many games bc he's beefed up his defensive game a ton.


Going from worst in the league to bottom 10% is a big jump that still leaves him at very bad

I totally forgot about Bailey, totally agree there, I'd probably still pick Pulock depending on who you look at, but I wouldn't argue if you said either of those two


I think pulock is finally getting the recognition he deserves - the media acts like the isles top 6 is barzal and a bunch of 3rd liners but you can make the argument that eberle was a top 15 rw in the league this season. Beau carried the 2nd line and his gf/60 was 2nd to only barzal.

He wasn't nearly as good defensively as others that were also just as good or better offensively (Fox, McAvoy at least), and he also had over 50% of his points on the PP iirc, where he was playing with... slightly better... talent, he's still certainly very very good, but also certainly not the unanimous best d man in the league

yeah idk, I also totally forgot about Baily and Leddy, they are def more overrated

I would honestly say he's one of the more overrated...

Yes, they certainly are, but they also exist

He has def gotten better... but uhh while he was played on the PK, iirc he was out for the most goals against/60 (maybe xGA/60, I forget now) by a large margin in the league on the kill last yr

Yah, but all I’m saying is that in my opinion, he’s not overrated at all... like I said depending on who you talk to, Ethan Bear could be in that spot.

Brodin is by far the best d-man on the Wild and has been for a couple of years. If you want underrated look at Soucy.

If you are look8ng at strictly this year then sure Hedman wasn't the unanimous best dman but thats a very small sample size. Hedman is extremely consistent over multiple years and is probably a future HOFer.

Martinez is probably a bit overpaid but is extremely underrated for what he provides. No one ever talks about him because Theodore and Piet are there

I didn't want to argue with leafs fans about on of the big 4 tbh, and while the player himself isn't really overrated, I think almost everyone realizes he sucks now, when he started playing for the leafs I saw some people say how good the leafs development system is that he all of a sudden became usable, which just makes no sense


That doesn't justify calling him overrated tho, as a leafs fan the most overrated is rielly for sure

I feel like he's the "normal" pick tho, like saying Barkov is underrated, if everyone agrees that he's under/overrated, is he really overrated?

Yet people still say he was, plus this yr should at least throw some doubt on him being the best d man in the league, especially with the ages of the guys that had better years in McAvoy Fox or Makar, it's likely that those guys are that good, not like Dougie having a career yr or smth

I mean yeah he never gets talked abt, but he's also nothing special, they gave up what, 2 2nds for him? And people said it was a fair trade, I probably wouldn't have given a single 2nd at the time, or now

Maybe in the future but as it stands Hedman still has the throne until Tampa's reign ends, just like how him and Josi overtook Keith a few years back for that top spot.

You obviously undervalue what Martinez brings, he is well worth those 2 2nds but what he was traded for has nothing to do with him being over or underrated

Clearly don’t pay too much attention to Canes games.

Aho the best player on a team in contention for the presidents trophy. Dougie is very good offensively but only average defensively. I would say both are adequately ‘rated’ but Aho closer to underrated and Dougie closer to overrated.
