How do you figure Fedorov was (most) underated?
He has a decent number of NHL awards, so it's not like he wasn't recognized.

Yes, he has awards (2 Selkes, 1 Hart, 1 Pearson) but I feel like he was never as appreciated as much as some other players of his era, like Forsberg, Jagr, Lindros, Kariya, Selanne, and even his teammate Yzerman.
Personally, Fedorov makes a top-20 all-time list in my book because of his all-around game, but he seems to be lumped in with the other Russians like Bure and Mogilny. Both were dynamically gifted players, but none of them could hang with Fedorov overall.
