Is Peter Forsberg underrated?

[authentic]

Hello, new here and this thread caught my eye!

I’ve seen a lot of credible, ex-players, call Forsberg “the best there was”, “most talented ever” etc.

I’ve also heard stars of today have him as one of their idols (Crosby for example).

But here I see a bunch of posters calling him “overrated”? I see people are mentioning injuries and stuff, but that’s another discussion…? Are people here just very very young, or is there a lot of bias against Forsberg here? Maybe fans of teams he played or…?

Well it’s not exactly a hard call to make. All one has to do is watch the player in his prime and he looks far closer to what actual NHL players past and present describe than what half of HF will tell you.

Overrated doesn't mean he wasn't a great HOF player.
