Most under-rated player of all time is probably Andy Bathgate, who was top-5 in scoring something like 10 consecutive years, but isn't remembered on nearly the level of his peers.
Nice to see a very knowledgable fan.
In his day Bathgate was recognized plenty as is attested by his 1st team
and 2nd team all stars and Hart trophy.He earned those going up against
the likes of Rocket Richard,Gordie Howe, and Boom Boom Geofrion as the
other right wingers of the era(inarguably the greatest era for right wing in
history).
However history doesn't seem to have been as kind and when greatest players of alltime lists are made he is ranked way too low.This is a guy that beat out
Gordie Howe a couple of times on all star teams and once for the Hart Trophy
and did so when Howe was in his prime.
So on the basis of how he is remembered now no question the most underrated
and forgotten player in history.
