My Current Top 10 Underrated Players in the NHL

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
There is no particular order, just 10 players I think are better than they are portrayed either by fans, or the media. Let me know what you think and if there are any players you think are underrated that I don't have here.

Sorokin: He has been carrying the isles to playoffs after playoffs and rarely gets help. Because of that it makes him look worse, even though, in my opinion he is the best active goalie.
Kempe: Was one of the guys that made the kings have a chance to make the second round last year
Tuch: Has always been an excellent player and has always been in the shadow of other teammates
Rodrigues: He actually has incredible game sense
Chytil: Plays a great game and in my opinion one of the top rangers forwards currently
Jeannot: You know i had to include him, plays a great game and always brings energy to a team
Byram: Do to injuries, we haven't been able to appreciate just how much of a beast he truly is
McAvoy: I am guilty of underrating this guy, because i don't watch him much, but he is truly amazing at his position and will be a top player for many years
Nurse: He gets a lot of hate (trust me im an oilers fan) but he has not had the greatest d partner, and unfortunately has a big contract to live up to. But he is still an incredible 2 way dman
Pietrangelo: Another dman, who almost seems forgotten at times, but his game is top tier

I think most people know how good Sorokin is tbh

Nurse I don’t think belongs

Everyone else makes sense

Tanner Jeanott was the most over rated player on these boards for like 18 months and was then traded for about 900% of his actual value only to look like an ok 4th liner on an actual good team and then get paid too much. I dunno how anyone could think he's under rated

Pietrangelo has been underrated for so many years they should retire him into the underrated HoF.

Adrian Kempe is such a stud, glad to see him get some recognition here.

I might be biased, but I'd also put JT Miller on this list. Everyone thinks he's just a locker-room cancer that is terrible defensively, but he's like top 10 in scoring over the past 3 or so years and has been PPG since joining the Canucks.

I’m not sure if nurse is underrated, but he gets all of his hate purely based on his contract instead of his play. He’s a very solid defender who just happened to capitalize on a great season + all of his comparables making bank that year.
