Most overrated player by your team’s fans?

[Potty John]

The most over rated player on by management in Calgary is probably Hamonic. We gave up way to much for him. No one in clagary is really super over rated by fans in Calgary that isn't reasonable.

Cam Talbot

For the Leafs, it’s Kadri.

Really decent player but the number of threads that get shut down when discussing him... mind boggling.

Brave is the fan that mentions trading him sometime over the next 4-5 years. You can’t even give the guy credit for turning his career (and off ice issues) around... something he himself acknowledges... without offending a segment of our fan base that claims he was this good all along and that never happened.

Hyman his forechecking skills are overstated and suggesting moving him away from Matthews is good enough for jail time for some posters.

Oiler fan. We hate everyone over 22.

Seriously though, Slepyshev.

Surprised to hear Zaitsev in this thread. I admit I haven't been paying too much attention to the Leafs but I was under the impression that he was solid. Kadri even surprises me a bit. Every time I watched highlights of the Leafs I was seeing Kadri pot one!

What i've heard is that Zaitsev has been a tirefire this year, but still remembered as how good he was last year.

Well that's too bad, hopefully he can turn it around for next year.

I'll go with Noah Hanifin. I think he gets a lot of free passes for being young, and that his actual play (this year and last) always leaves something to be desired.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I think every Oiler gets trashed regularly -- at least those who and when they deserve it.

If anyone was over-rated, I'd say Letestu was by some, who was completely useless except on the PP last season. Guy is clueless and completely inept offensively and defensively. Not even very good as an "energy" guy as he doesn't hit much. Pretty good on the dot, but that's about it these days. He's not an NHLer, and I doubt he helps the team we traded him to (don't get your hopes up).

 

[Zenos]

Not a current player, but oilers fans generally look back on Dwayne Roloson with insanely rose-coloured glasses.

He was otherworldly in the 2006 playoffs, but that run bought him more rope than he deserved. Many oilers fans still talk of him as if he were some incredible goaltender, up there with Fuhr, Moog, and Ranford when in reality his tenure (that one spring notwithstanding) with the oilers was less impressive than Tommy Salo's.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

For the Caps I'd say Andre Burakovsky. Talented but his vision and understanding of the game are lacking.
