Sad to say but I doubt this is the last time he gets injured. He's a talented player but I don't think he'll ever be a true 1C. At least not from what I saw in Chicago

Literally the first name I thought of when I clicked on this thread. But Finger was drastically overrated (by the Leafs) during his time with the Avs, so I pick him for Colorado. Once he got to Toronto, he was no longer overrated, because everyone knew he sucked, he was just over paid.

I think that’s already true. He’s missed so much time. I think he had an outside shot at being a real first liner but that has passed. I still think he can be. Great second liner but only time will tell.
More than anything he needs 70 games this year. Even if they aren’t productive, he needs to play. Hopefully he improves as he goes along.

1st liner was always kinda wishful thinking. Lets so how he does. I just hope he can have a healthy year. If he doesn’t… man, I don’t know what happens with him.

If nothing else he's good value back on the draft pick you gave us (13th?). About the best you can hope for when drafting in that range. It remains to be seen if Nazar reaches or exceeds that level.
Dach will be a good middle 6er as long as he's healthy

It'd be great if he developed into a productive 2C, but even if he stalls at 3C he's still a pretty useful piece for the cost. He's the last guy we should be worried about.

Yeah, no
Prime Subban was the f***ing man
Aside of Price, he's the best player we had in the last 15

Even as a Sens fan Subban was a lot of fun to watch in his prime with Montreal. Super dynamic. He might not have been the most efficient player in the league, but on pure entertainment few could match him.

Who are they?
On the Habs:
Brendan Gallagher: After a couple of years of suckage, Vintage Gallagher seems to be back.
Is he ever going to be worth 6,5M$/per year?
No way, it ain't happening.
But he's playing hard, he's a solid pest and he ain't an hindrance to the team. Plus he already has a couple of goals.
Jake Evans: Our best player nobody talk about, ever. Good hands, good speed, solid on the red dot. He's the second coming of Lekhonen, but as a center.

Lafreniere is probably no longer underrated but some people don't realize that his usage will prevent him from being a top producer. I read somewhere that from the start of last year he's 13th in even strength goals and 23rd in even strength points. He must be PPG including playoffs in the last 50 or so games with no PP1 time.
Chytil also. He's an excellent 3rd line center who is more like a 2nd line center. But he gets injured all the time.

I, a Caps fan, long had the opinion that Tom Wilson is overrated, and several years ago I said I thought they should trade him since his perceived value was so high.
For Colorado, I feel that Adam Foote was a bit overrated. Our defense was rather weak compared to Detroit and Dallas during the rivalry years and we didn't get the job done until Rob Blake and Ray Bourque joined.

Currently, Alex Turcotte appears to have arrived without any fanfare. Can't blame us, every time he is getting closed in on by a defender we clutch our rosaries - can’t wait until that feeling subsides. Modest 4 game streak with a point with outstanding pressure. Love to see it, there is a very good player beneath those injuries.
Edit: somehow the "underrated" thread got merged with the overrated thread. Clearly this post was in the under one.

Happy to see he’s got a serious chance to live up to his potential. The Hawks board was torn between drafting him and Byram in 2019 so I’ve been interested in his career since. I also met the kid once and he seemed like a good guy.
