Adam French: The All-Overrated Team of 2014-2015

most i agree with, nice write up french horn

You didn't even pick anyone from the Islanders. SMDH, IMHO.





Honorable non-hockey mention: Taylor Swift

Re: Brayden Schenn - not sure I'd agree with you on him. Who's "hyping" this kid? He's a 23 year old guy who's paid $2.5 million dollars, he produced 47 points, career high, how can this be shed in a negative light?

As far as the guys (forwards) taken ahead of him, they're all better than he is, they've also all played more games than he has. Tavares, no explanation needed, Duchene, he's definitely more offensively talented but he's also played 145 more games.

Milan Lucic: "I can say for sure the loss of Johnny Boychuk definitely affected me at start of the year. That was a tough one to get over"

I hope Johnny "The Real Hockey" Boychuk takes Taylor Cammarata under his wing.

Who exactly (aside from Berube) is clamoring for Brayden Schenn to be anything more than a second line winger?

love the inclusion of rask

Pierre McGuire?

Besides, it would have been too easy to use James Neal.

I'd argue that he was overrated when he came into the league, but expectations have certainly since been tempered.

It's funny because Cammarata can literally fit under a bird's wing.

Sean Couturier is up there too.

Jordan Staal
Chris Kreider
Paul Statsny

Lucic is just severely overpaid, not overrated.

both actually. It's both.

Overrated should include an outsized salary. Schenn doesn't got in that mold. Any waffles player making more than four mill per could be included, or with too much hype. Lupul, Phaneuf, kessel, kadri, ...
You could include Clarkson, Semin, Jordan staal, Eric staal, lucic, James Neal, orpik, Dustin Brown, probably a bunch of others as well

Mostly everyone knows Clarkson and Brown suck at this point.

Everyone knew Orpik was hot garbage before he even signed his contract

Great piece yesterday on Schenn finding chemistry on Couturier's wing. I think going forward that's where he should be in Philly. On the second line beside Sean.

Get's many of the defensive assignments. I've never understood why Philly won't just stick to playing him with Schenn. Check yesterday's piece by Meltzer.

You think Kessel should make under 4mil?

And you can't call Clarkson overrated. He definitely was by the Leafs when his contract was signed. But everybody thinks he's garbage now.
