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.
Is Peter Forsberg underrated?

Overrated doesn't mean he wasn't a great HOF player.
Sure, sure, but what about him is overrated?
His playmaking skills are in the top 10 ever (4th in APG all time, playing in the DPE speaks for itself, including the eye test).
His shot - sure he preferred assists to goals, according to himself, but he’s got a higher GPG in the playoffs than Crosby and other greats.
His physicality- played a hard, sometimes ugly game that hockey fans loved.
Selkie-level defense.
Skated eights around other teams in their d-zone long before the Karlssons, Crosbys and Makar’s did. But he did it when other players used him as a sleigh.
Big-game player, stepped up when it mattered for both club and country.
Amazing playoff stats.
What does people tend to overrate?
