Seems pretty set eh?

Rick Nash is the most overrated player in the NHL, with Claude Giroux as a close second, Shane Down as third.
- ThePresident

Dion Phaneuf nowhere near the top of that list?

Kadri is working out?


(frank) me the Oilers kids should workout too!

HAHA

THEY AREN'T

You should watch hockey sometimes.
- hon_hon_hon

You should stop listening to the canadian fanboy media.

i dont think so at all


Lupul - JVR - Kessel
(JVR > Bozak any way you look at it, and bozak was a 50 point player between them)

Kadri Grabo Macarthur

Frattin Conolly Kulemin

McClement Steckle Brown

Komorov Bozak extras

Phaneuf / Liles
Gardiner/Franson
Holzer/Blacker
Komo Extra

Scrivens
Reimer

This is how i'd set us up....
With this line up i think we can take 7th or 8th, we still need more upgrades though....
- JDBrickz

So Bozak goes from being your #1 center to being a healthy scratch?

I have access to the french homer media, thank you very much.

Doan and Giroux are great.

Could you be a bit more original, I'm naming players that have nothing to do with singling out a certain team, yet all you can do is try to point out a Leaf. Pay attention more to the likes of the overrated Eberle, Dubnyk, Hall, Gagner, Hemsky, the list goes on...

Maybe you should name players that are not overrated, would save you some time.

And Eberle is clutch as hell.

- hon_hon_hon

traded preferably...

We have far too many top 9, someone has to go, he'd be my first choice.

Bozak would be a 2nd line centre on quite a few NHL teams...


Bozak, Mac, Kule, Grabo, Kadri all would have decent returns in a trade, and at least two of these guys are expendable for other position upgrades

Dion Phaneuf nowhere near the top of that list?

It has gotten to the point where Dion may actually be underrated now. I know it sounds stupid but ever since being labelled as the most overrated/becoming the Leafs captain, the guy just gets ripped on by EVERYBODY. It's not easy playing 25 plus a night when you're expected to put up numbers offensively and to shut down the other team's top line. He's no Chara but he is a great Dman.

/agree

inb4 called homer

Dion is a really good dman, i guarantee you we will see a new side of him under Carlyle this year. He's gonna be back in form. If he's on his game he can be a top 10 dman, hopefully he stays consistent this year

He isnt great.


That term is used way too loosely.

All overrated, the Canadian media is ridiculous. Eberle is how highly overrated, my god.

Competes hard, throws hits, has a cannon of a shot. I'm happy to have him on my team.

Haha


Did you see that TSN poll thingy called 'who's better?'

- hon_hon_hon

One youtube video proves what? You expect to go a full season without getting beat a bunch of times? Even the best get beat on a game to game basis.

Completely agree


He needs a legit partner. Guy goes up against top players every game, and he did pretty well imo.

His mistakes were exaggerated to due goaltending letting everything in.

If Nash, Doan, or Giroux were Russian or American for that matter, they wouldn't receive half the recognition they do.

Yeah he looks like a pylon often and gets caught out of position often because he likes to go for the big hit.
