Quietest Star Players?

[DitchMarner]

Who are the stars that consistently produce and often place in the top 30 to 50 in scoring (sometimes in the top 20) but fly under the radar and aren't talked about and/or recognized all that much?

I think Bratt may be the best example of such a player. Maybe Brayden Schenn in his prime fit the bill?

JT Miller, guy broke all of Gretzky's records in his first game and nobody even mentions it.

 

[Forge]

Kyle Connor?

 

[Stealth JD]

Robert Thomas

 

[Teemu]

Seth Jarvis

I get the sense that a lot of folks don’t realize how good Jake Guentzel is. Maybe a victim of the “buzz flibbet/mike donk” perception since his breakout came next to Crosby

Nichuskin imo is an underrated star player. Really really good player.

...Mitch Marner is the answer here...as soon as pressure hockey starts, he's the quietest player on the ice...

Mitch Marner has an OT winner at the 4 Nations. Is Matthews even playing? Haven't noticed him at all.

...Marner played like dogshyte all game; floating around, dipsy-doodling to nowhere and coughing up pucks...finally shot a puck 3-on-3 that went in...as a Habs fan, my dislike for Pornstache goes without saying; he hasn't played that well offensively, but he has been visible; winning draws, actually getting physically involved, and playing soundly rather than spectacularly...no comparison whatsoever...

keller doesnt really get enough credit imo.

In American sports, “One Shining Moment” is played at the end of the NCAA once the victors have prevailed. But for Softy pants, we can play this now in honor of his game 1.

Classic reference…

Crosby, Fibbet and Donk were torching the league back in the day!

Darn it...
Someone already did the Marner joke.

Someone already did the Marner joke.

The joke started on May 5th, 1997.

And I’ll say Kyle Connor.

Nichuskin imo is an underrated star player. Really really good player.

Should have drafted him then

Someone from a smaller team. Keller, Forsberg.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Nichuskin imo is an underrated star player. Really really good player.

...he had, let's say, issues while with the Stars after they drafted him...had to go back to the KHL for two years to get his game back on track...

I keep hearing people talk about how the Wings will never win with Raymond being our best forward, yet he’s 19th in scoring at 22 years old

 

[Stive Morgan]

Jesper Bratt

 

[Dion TheFluff]

I think most wouldn't guess that Clayton Keller is 21st in points and 30th in goals over the last 3 seasons

Add it to the highlight reel
