Ryan Miller, Ryan Callahan & Rick Nash


How about 3 underrated?
- Jsaquella

I agree with Ryan Miller for sure.

Remember Nash's play on Richards line during the 2010 Olympics? Probably the best I've ever seen Nash play.

Underrated:

Taylor Hall

Martin Hanzal

Tomas Plekanec
- AllInForFlyers

I don't think many underrate Hall. But I agree with the other 2 100%

Actually I thought of MOAT first. But I've met him in person - and that explains why. He's got a seriously cute kid!

- FlyersGrace

The kid was cuter before the growth spurt. Then again, so was MOAT.

I don't think many underrate Hall. But I agree with the other 2 100%
- Jsaquella

Hall is a great young player. If he can level out with consistency and remain healthy he'd skyrocket in value.

Wait! I only get 3?


You're all players in my book.

EDIT: if you are left off this list it prolly means I actually like you.

I think he's a great player, but consensus seems to be that he's somewhere in the Pronger/Potvin/Robinson stratosphere, hence the overrated bit. By the end of this decade, I don't think he will even be top-10 with all the crazy-good kids in or on their way into the league.
- Tomahawk

I never thought of him in that sense, and I'm probably the biggest fan of his in the area. He's not a first-ballot HOFer, because, well, he's not pronger/Potvin/Robinson. He's arguably the most complete defenseman in the game, and is the closest thing to Pronger et. al. that there is. Similarly, Crosby is the closest thing there is to Gretzky, but that doesn't mean they're the same player; just, for the game at this time, he fits the same bill.

- Tomahawk

I agree, I'm not going to put him in that category. But the reality is, has he ever played a top team? Put him in Flyers O & B, and we'll see what a difference he would make here.

- Jsaquella

I'd put Patrik Elias into that conversation too... quietest creep up to 1000 pts in NHL history, must be.

Considering I hear a lot of folks that think Phaneuf sucks, not sure I'd say he's overrated, at least anymore. Certainly could have been as a Flame
- Jsaquella

Yeah, his stock has dropped quite a bit. However, he's getting paid like a top dog, but that's more on Toronto than him.

Underrated:

1. Josh Harding (when he plays)
2. Reilly Smith
3. Kari Lehtonen

I'd throw Jaden Schwartz in there too

wooo

Everyone name your top 3 most overrated current players. Don't use guys who are just overrated on this site like Yandle or Byfuglien unless you feel they are top 3.
- PhillySportsGuy

Crosby
Weber
Stamkos

Now seriously though... They are some of the best players in hockey, but people put them so high on a pedalstood, i think people think of them as Gretzky like....

I'd put Patrik Elias into that conversation too... quietest creep up to 1000 pts in NHL history, must be.
- Tomahawk

Retired, but he reminds me of Peter Bondra? Hung around just long enough to reach 500 goals, and no one noticed.

Underrated:

1. Josh Harding (when he plays)
2. Reilly Smith
3. Kari Lehtonen
- Streit2ThePoint

OHHHH....Reilly Smith's a good one. Had no idea that guy was that good when he was coming up in Dallas. He has been really, really good for Boston

I'd put Patrik Elias into that conversation too... quietest creep up to 1000 pts in NHL history, must be.
- Tomahawk

That's the big one I was thinking of

I don't care.

"I don't like liberals, they're evil!!!"

"I don't like conservatives, they're evil!"

"Shut up!"

"No, YOU shut up!"

Has no place on here. Not to pick on any one poster because I'm not, but it's like 2 educated 5-year-olds arguing penis size.
- jmatchett383

I havent seen that yet.

I'm now in the middle of a police standoff with two suspects. Of course blocking my path off the job to go home. Damn illegals!

- Tomahawk

Elias would be stuck on 500 if he didn't play the Flyers so often.

- Streit2ThePoint

Schwartz keeps playing like he has, and that will change

I don't think many underrate Hall. But I agree with the other 2 100%
- Jsaquella

I said Hall because I think if somebody got that kid out of that horrible situation and into a positive atmosphere, he'd put up 50 goals and look dominant in doing so

It's tragic, what's going on up in Edmonton

OHHHH....Reilly Smith's a good one. Had no idea that guy was that good when he was coming up in Dallas. He has been really, really good for Boston
- AllInForFlyers

He really has. Boston is pretty deep at forward aren't they?

Crosby
Weber
Stamkos

Now seriously though... They are some of the best players in hockey, but people put them so high on a pedalstood, i think people think of them as Gretzky like....
- SchennBros

But they are the closest to those legendary players that there currently are. that's like saying Phil Esposito was overrated because he was compared to Richard. People in the 80s probably said Gretzky was overrated because he didn't play like Howe did.

I still don't think David Krejci gets enough love.

- PhillySportsGuy

That's between him, his wife, and Colin Campbell.

1. Alex Ovechkin
2. Ryan Callahan
3. Dion Phaneuf
- Streit2ThePoint

I know Ovechkin has some shortcomings defensively and such, but how could you have a guy as # 1 overrated that has 417 career goals at the age of 28?
